We were happy to also introduce her to many firsts including: a cruise to Nova Scotia, Lake George trips, the Hamilton Broadway show, many special restaurants including the Russian Tea Room, Becco and Oheka Castle, Old Westbury Gardens and her big trip to Boca Raton, Florida, seeing the Japanese Tea Gardens, Loxahatchee, and the Artificial Coral Reef.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that a donation be made in the memory of Rita Hines to the inaugural Paul, Kathryn and Amanda Borowski Caregiver Scholarship for a Graduating Hauppauge High School Senior, which was created in March 2020. Checks are to be payable to "Hauppauge Educational Foundation", with the Scholarship name in the memo section. This scholarship is given to recognize a HHS Senior who has been a caregiver for a parent, sibling or grandparent at the sacrifice of impacting them academically or their inability to be involved in extracurricular activities.
