Born in Burke County, NC on February 24, 1959, she was the daughter of the late William Riley McCoy and Ellie Faye Whisnant McCoy.

Rita loved the Lord and was a member of El Bethel Baptist Church. She was a loving and devoted mother and grandmother. She retired after 38 years as a manager with the State Employees Credit Union. Rita enjoyed going to the beach and fishing, but she especially loved spending time with her family and grandchildren.

Rita is survived by her sons, Kyle Berryhill (Autumn) and Kaleb Berryhill (Callie); grandchildren, Kayden, Jack, Mollie, Finn, and Liam Berryhill; brother, Randy McCoy (Dena); nephews, Jason and Jamie McCoy; and a number of extended family.

The family will receive friends from 3 to 5 p.m., Thursday, September 26, 2024 at El Bethel Baptist Church. The memorial service will follow at 5 p.m. in the church with Revs. Tim Hodge and John Powell officiating.

Kaleb, Callie & Family, Even when the hurt runs deep, God's love runs deeper. Sometimes in the saddest hours, we can't do anything but put our hand in His. Feel Him leading you now and know that no matter what, you are safe, and you are His. We have you in our thoughts and pray that the Lord will provide during this time of sorrow and always.
