Her husband was cruel and harsh and she spent eighteen unhappy years. Together they had two sons, finally her husband was killed in a brawl. Both sons died and St. Rita tried to enter the Augustinian convent at Cascia, but she was refused because she was a widow. Finally the order gave her entry in 1413. St. Rita got sick and died on the 22nd of May 1457 at Cascia. According to the legend the relatives visited her when she lied sick to death in bed. They asked her if she had a wish.

It was January, however a relative went to Roccaporena to fulfill her desire and he returned with a flourishing rose, grown in the middle of the cold winter.
