Rita Carrey, the older sibling of comedian Jim Carrey, has passed away. Her death was communicated on her Facebook page by her husband, Alex. The Canadian singer was known for her radio show, "The Peet & Reet Show, " which she co-hosted and produced. The news of her passing came as a shock to many, including Alex, who described her as a joyful and immensely talented woman.

    Rita and Alex tied the knot last July, fulfilling her dream of an outdoor wedding. She was known for her humor, once jokingly referring to herself as "JCS" because of her association with her famous brother. Their family and friends plan to hold a candlelight vigil in her memory on December 7 in Ontario, Canada.

    Alex's tribute highlighted Rita's unique spirit, stating, "She filled everyone’s heart with joy with every step she took, and I will never forget this beautiful and amazingly talented woman. " The cause of her death was not disclosed.

    In 2015, Rita shared insights about her brother's comedy journey on the talk show "What She Said. " She revealed that Jim's iconic facial expressions originated from practicing in front of a mirror for years. Their mother once warned Jim about seeing the devil if he continued, which only made him practice more.

    Rita's family and friends have lost a beloved figure who brought joy and laughter to their lives. Her legacy as a talented entertainer and a loving family member will be cherished.
