She retired as a rural mail carrier from the U.S. Postal Service after over 20 years, and was a lifetime member of Immanuel United Church of Christ. She loved being a wife, mother, and grandmother. "Grandma Toot" as she was called by all who knew her, enjoyed all of the grandchildren who learned to swim in her pool, and it was the center of entertaining.

Adam) Holmes of Aledo, TX, Dieter (Charlene) Frueh of Nashport, Franz Frueh of Zanesville, Dr. Andrea (John) Collet of Newark, and Carrie (Kevin) Tullos of Odenton, MD; thirteen great grandchildren, Caroline, Hansel, Elise, Claudia, Jakob, Aaron, Derek, Rainer, Axel, Annika, Lydia, Connor, and Cody; four nieces and nephews who looked to her as their grandmother, Kelly (Brad) Wolfe, Kathleen (Jay) Johnson, K.C. (Mari) Frick, and Kirk (Davida) Frick; a sister Ebbie Flowers of Zanesville; a brother John (Charlotte) Frick of Chandlersville; and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 62 years Walter A. Rittberger, whom she married June 29, 1939, and who died February 14, 2001; four brothers, Charles Jr., Frank, Robert, and Richard Frick; and a sister Nellie Wilson.
