Deanna Doris Ritchie

Deanna “Dee” Ritchie (Nana), 85 years young, passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones. 

Some people only walk this earth for a short time.  Their departure reminds us that angels are watching over us. 

She is survived by her fiancé, Richard Ham; brother Jack Penney (Linda); sister Kathy Paulauskas; her children Sue Buckley (Paul); Bob Achimovic (Kathy); Tisch Woodruff (Ed); and her many loving grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Over her lifetime, in addition to being a loving and devoted mother, Dee was a waitress, worked in billing at Doctor’s hospital, and was the only woman Sales Representative for Genstar, just to name a few.

Dee enjoyed golf, puzzles, cards, birds and flowers, but her true joy came from spending time with family and friends.

Her warm smile, beautiful bright blue eyes, caring spirit, and kind and loving nature captivated many and she will be dearly missed.  She’ll be in our hearts forever.
