Major Contributor
Rita Schofield (1924-2005) was a long-time resident of Arlington Heights who could be found every morning regardless of rain, snow, heat or cold, walking the path surrounding Pioneer Park. She volunteered much of her time within the Arlington Heights community, serving as an election judge, volunteering at Northwest Community Hospital and supporting other causes she held dear. Rita was a true pioneer with her "people first" attitude and was always ready to offer a helping hand to family, friends and strangers alike.
The Giving Tree at Pioneer Community Center
