Rita MayMELLORRita May MELLOR (nee Clarke)

In loving memory of Rita May Mellor born 19th August 1933 and passed away at Coventry University Hospital on 3rd April 2026. Beloved wife to the late Harry Mellor, a loving and caring mum to Martin David Mellor and the late Nicholas David Mellor, proud grandma to Jamie Robert Mellor and wonderful relative and friend to so many people.

Rita lived a full life from her early memories of the Coventry blitz, her exciting travels with Harry around Europe in his Austin Healey, being a mother to Nicholas and Martin, a successful career working in the Coventry Machine Tools business and a long retirement spending much time with her grandson Jamie. She was known for her generosity and her enduring friendship where she created a special connection with all of her family and friends with empathy, understanding and always with a laugh and a smile.

She leaves behind a lifetime of memories and she will be greatly missed by all her family and friends.

A funeral service to celebrate Rita's life will be held on Wednesday 22nd April at Canley Crematorium at 15:45.

Family flowers only please, with donations, if desired, will be greatly appreciated to Leukaemia UK via the website https://protect.checkpoint.com/v2/r06/___https://ritamaymellor.muchloved.com/___.ZXV3MjpoZWFydG9mZW5nbGFuZGNvb3BlcmF0aXZlc29jaWV0MTpjOm86YjUxNTFkMzM1NjNmMGM2ZGRiZTU4Njc3MjhlNGUxOWM6Nzo1MzUxOmE1MzdjNWIyNzExMTVjZGU5MTA5Zjg1YmNhZDViOTEwM2E5MzA4ZDEzMWU3OGQyYWRlZDUyODMxODA2ODE4NWU6dDpUOkY

Rita, who I adopted as ‘Auntie Rita’ from the age of 17 when I had the joy to meet her, was the most wonderful lady. Right to the end of her life she was full of both great wisdom & wit. She would always have me laughing with her stories. She was also someone who genuinely listened & cared - I will miss her enormously- RIP Rita - all my love & thanks Jayne xx
