Rita M. Harris was the inspiration and guiding light behind famous "Chocoholics Dessert Parlor" in Arcata, California (Circa: 1979-1989), "Chocoholics Bakery" in Eureka, California (Circa: 1984-1994), and "Chocoholics Truffles In A Jar," which was manufactured in various flavors.
Initially Rita developed many recipes for the Dessert Parlor and when the bakery opened, she continued to develop more and more recipes.
In addition to a large, loyal, local patronage "Chocoholics Bakery" soon became a required stop for tour buses traveling through Eureka.
Rita sold the bakery in 1994 to an employee.
In 1996 Rita, with her husband, moved to Tucson, Arizona, where she enjoyably spent her remaining years.
Rita passed away October 11, 2004.
