Rita Mae Kuhar

Rita Mae Kuhar, 8/17/1943-2/27/26

AKA "Cooking Grandma," 83, passed away at her home in Kent surrounded by her family after a long illness. Rita was a successful realtor for over 50 years, being one of Portage County's multi-million-dollar agents. She finished her career with Wittensoldner Realty.

Rita volunteered as a Guardian Ad Litem, helping to be a voice for young children in the court system. She loved caring for feral cats in the neighborhood and helping with spaying and neutering.

If you knew Rita, there was always a meal being prepared and an open door to enjoy love of family and lots of laughter. Her favorite place was her cabin in Canada where she shared her love of fishing with her grandchildren.

Rita is survived by her spouse John, who she married in Key West 49 years ago. There, they have their second home due to mom's love of deep sea fishing. She leaves behind her loving children, grandchildren, and all others that were fortunate to call her "mama." A special thanks to Ava, Rita & John's guardian angel, for her loving care she provided during this difficult time. We are blessed to have her and call her one of our own.

Graveside services will be held on Friday March 6, 2026, 11:00am at Standing Rock Cemetery 1361 N Mantua St, Kent, OH 44240.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Rita's memory may be made to St. Jude Children Research Hospital, or St. Patrick's Church in Kent.

Arrangements entrusted to Adams Mason Funeral Home (330) 535-9186
