RITCHEY, EDITHA “BETTY”
March 15, 1922 – December 23, 2012
It is with great sadness
that we announce the
passing of Betty, at the
age of 90. She will be
lovingly remembered by
her son, Randy Ritchey,
and her daughter Sherry (Dennis) Husch. Also left
to mourn her passing are
her five grandchildren,
Naeomi Dawson, Ryan
(Marika) Husch, Rory (Jaime) Husch, Wyatt Husch, and Jeffrey Braun (Ritchey), eight great
grandchildren, Jacob, Jarryn and Hunter Dawson,
Mackenzie, Weston and Brooklyn Husch, Tasia and
Phoenyx Husch, as well as many nieces, nephews and friends. Predeceased by the love of her life husband Ron Ritchey in 2009, father and mother Rex and Editha Dolman and brother Tom Dolman. Betty was born in Rimbey,
Alberta, but lived 70 years of her life in BC. Betty was
married to Ron in 1946. They moved to Kelowna in 1954, and have resided here ever since, 50 of these years in the same house. Betty’s happy, cheerful and friendly
personality endeared her to all that met her. Betty lived
a happy, full life with Ron, doing the things she loved,
traveling, camping, fishing, gardening ad spending
many happy hours with her family and friends. We are
all comforted with the thought that Betty is once again
with her dear RITCH, as she so lovingly called him.
We miss you, and will always remember you,
dearest mom, gramma, great gramma, and friend.
A memorial service will be held on Friday, January 11, 2013 at 1:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna. Should family and friends so desire,
donations may be made to the
Salvation Army or the Gospel Mission.
