Rita Blau was a very charming and wonderful woman. “She was a fun, caring and thoughtful person who made the word a better place. Rita loved music, day fairs, Friday nights with her husband and big holiday dinners with her family. She always made you laugh.” Family and many friends and colleagues remember her warmth and vitality.
Rita was born June 15, 1949 in Brooklyn, New York. She was a lifelong resident of Brooklyn, where she raised two remarkable daughters. In 2005, to keep her memory alive, the community renamed a street in her honor, marked by a new sign at 16th Avenue and Bath Avenue recognizing: “Rita Blau Way”.
In 2001, Rita was the Supervisor of Switchboard Operators working with Fiduciary Trust International, in Two World Trade Center. She worked in the South Tower -- on the 90th floor. Rita Blau was killed in the September 11 attacks. The loss of her life is tragic and immeasurable.
She leaves behind her dear husband of 11 years, Ira Blau; and her daughters, Michele Buffolino and Nicole Effress.
She is fondly remembered for her storytelling, dancing, shoe shopping, the Brooklyn Cyclones, her salt and pepper collection, and trips to Atlantic City.
“Rita was everyone’s favorite operator.” Colleagues reminisce about Rita’s sense of humor and generosity, including the candy that she always had on her desk -- to share. “About her daughters, Rita’s eyes sparkled like diamonds when she spoke about Michele and Nicole.”
