Rita Anne
Guidon-Martin
ROSEVILLE,
CA - Rita
Anne Guidon-Martin,
68, passed
away on
April 17,
2021, in
Roseville,
CA.
She was born
in
Cambridge,
NY to the
late Edward
and Jane
(McHugh)
Guidon. She
was also
predeceased
by her
brother-in-law
John
Heckman.
 Rita
graduated
from
Cambridge
Central
School in
1970 and
went on to
study at the
College of
St. Rose,
and the
University
of Albany
where she
completed a
Bachelor's
Degree in
Psychology.
She was
employed by
the National
Federation
of
Independent
Business for
15 years,
where she
helped in
the advocacy
and
representation
of small
business
owners.
Later, she
moved to
California
and worked
for the
California
State
Employment
Development
Department
for twenty
years,
assisting
veterans in
obtaining
employment.
She loved to
travel,
visiting
various
states in
the U.S. and
many
countries in
Europe, but
Texas and
California
were
particularly
important to
her. She
relocated to
California
and lived
there for
over
twenty-five
years. She
loved the
West Coast's
wildlife,
geography,
and stunning
flora;
however,
Cambridge,
with its
rolling
hills and
gorgeous
farmland,
also held an
incredibly
special
place in her
heart.
Rita was
hardworking,
but also
whimsical
and fun
loving. She
was a
talented
writer, who
had a strong
command of
the English
language and
was very
articulate.
She was also
an avid
movie goer
and loved
critiquing
films. In
addition,
she enjoyed
throwing
parties at
her job, and
treasured
family
gatherings.
Rita will be
deeply
missed and
forever
loved by her
surviving
siblings:
Edward
Guidon,
Martin
Guidon,
Elaine
Heckman,
Mary Jane
(Steve

and her
cherished
niece,
Sierra
