Born May 10, 1931, in Batesville, she is the daughter of Andrew and Catherine (Nee: Hittle) Hahn. She married Lawrence Brockman on April 23, 1955, at St. Louis Catholic Church in Batesville, and he preceded her in death on September 22, 1995. Rita was a homemaker and a devout catholic who attended Holy Family Catholic Church in Oldenburg, Indiana. She actively participated in the Fall Festival, Rummage Sale, and making turtle soup. She was a wonderful cook that would prepare memorable meals for the family of 11. This led to her leading a life of servitude and enjoyed helping and serving family and friends. She loved tending to her flowers and feeding the hummingbirds on her porch. She enjoyed playing bingo and watching game shows. Her competitive nature could always be found at the card table; she was a member of several local card clubs and continued playing with the family in her last days.
