Rita was delivered by thestork on December 14th to Dar-rel and Mary Ann Jackson ofWessington Springs, SD, thetenth of eleven vibrant children.Running amuck with her fivebrothers and sisters, Rita grewto a love of nature and all its ani-mals — a love that never fadedin Rita’s adult life, many of her
family and friendsbeing gifted withthe stray cats anddogs she oftenfound. Basketballplayer, cheer-leader, homecom-ing queen, andMiss Holiday area few of the titlesshe donned in her
time as a Wessington SpringsSpartan, not the least of these ti-tles being “friend”.
Rita attended Northern StateUniversity in Aberdeen, SD, be-fore transferring to Mount MartyCollege in Yankton, SD. There,amidst her studies, she servedthe sisters at St. Joseph CareCenter as a Nurse’s Assistantand earned early admittance tothe University of North Dakotawhere she completed a degreein physical therapy.
On May 17th, 1993, she wasmarried to Dan Kubal of Tabor,SD, and the couple was soongraced, with their first childDana. The Kubal farmhouse wasblessed with four additionalchildren, Elizabeth, Kohl, John,and Kaleb. In these children,Rita had found her calling — thecall to be a mother. These fivewere the apple in her
ever-bright eye. Rita was also drawn to her
service as a physical therapist,providing compassionate careand a listening ear. She workedat the Menno nursing home, theFreeman hospital, the TyndallHospital, the Yankton Care Cen-ter, and Sacred Heart Hospitalthroughout the years. Amongher most enriching experienceswas her time spent serving theSioux people at Indian HealthServices in Wagner, SD. There,Rita encountered a rich Siouxspirituality that resonated withher innate sense of prayer andher devotion to the SupremeBeing. It is said that Rita is theonly physical therapist with 100percent of her Sioux patients toreturn for follow-up sessions.
A few words about Rita:horse lover, eagle watcher, pho-tographer, hiker, rosary connois-seur, reader, writer, and ashoulder to lean on. Yet, aboveall, Rita was a woman of love, alove infused by faith, a faith thatdrew her to offer all things toher Savior, Jesus Christ.
