Jim Carrey is a well-known actor that a lot of us think of when we remember his funny movies. He has a special talent for making people laugh, but lately, he has been feeling sad.
Jim’s sister, Rita, has sadly passed away, and his family is grieving her loss. This sad news was posted on her Facebook by her husband, Alex, who talked about the moments they shared together.
He expressed his sorrow by saying, “With a heavy heart, I share that Rita peacefully left us on November 14, 2024, surrounded by her family and friends.” He reminisced about their 16 years together, which included getting married last July.
Throughout their time together, they explored many places around the world and formed lasting friendships. He described her as his “best friend, partner, and wonderful wife.”
Rita really loved Christmas; it was her absolute favorite holiday. For her, it wasn’t just a day in December but something she celebrated all year long. She enjoyed giving to others so much that she even organized a fundraiser for a local charity.
To remember her, Alex is hosting a candlelight vigil on December 7, 2024, for everyone who knew Rita. After the vigil, everyone is invited to take part in the “Christmas on the Terrace” celebration.
Donations in her honor can be made either directly or at the event. These can include children’s clothes, unwrapped gifts, and nonperishable food items.
Alex shared his thoughts: “Rita and I had an amazing and wild journey together. She brought happiness to everyone around her with every move she made, and I will always remember this incredible and talented woman.”
At the end of his message, he wrote: “Farewell my love, farewell my friend. Until we meet again. You truly lived life to the fullest.” He signed off as her ‘bestest friend and husband.’
While many knew Rita as Jim’s sister, she was so much more than that. She was a professional ballerina but chose to stay close to her family. She was also a singer, a co-host on a radio show, and a producer.
It’s clear that the world has lost a truly special person. May she rest in peace, and may her family find comfort during this tough time.
