Donna Ritter Obituary

Published by Legacy on Jun. 6, 2023.
It is with great sadness and much love that we say good bye to a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, Donna Delores Ritter who passed away peacefully at home May 30, 2023 at age of 79.
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.
A funeral service will be held Thursday, June 8, 2023 at 11:00 am at Fort Saskatchewan Community Center, Normandy Room (Fort Legion) 9964-93 Ave Fort Saskatchewan.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Donna's honour can be made directly to the Heartland Community Hospice Foundation.
To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Donna, please visit our floral store.
