Donna Ritter Obituary
She is survived by her best friend and husband of 57 years Helmuth, daughter Karen (Rick) Kroetsch, son Kevin (Brenda). Grandchildren Bradley (Suzanne), Damian, Zachary, Josie, Meagan (Armin), and Madeline, and 8 great grandchildren who all were the center of her universe.
Also survived by her brother Ken (Lynette) Willie and her brother-in-law Doug MacLean.
She was predeceased by her parents Adela and Edward Willie and sister Lois MacLean.
Mom loved going to the mountains, genealogy, trying to find auction sales, tractor pulls, and parades for her and dad to occupy their weekends. She loved going on holidays around the world, camping with family and friends and spending time at the cabin. She was also the best person to talk to at a time like this. She knew exactly what to do.
