January 11, 1951 – October 30, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our mom, Patricia "Pat" Ann Ritter. She lived a life filled with compassion, loyalty, and a genuine love for both people and animals.
Pat shared many beautiful years with her late husband, John Ritter, building a home full of laughter and adventure. Their happiest days were spent fishing at Mille Lacs Lake and creating memories we will hold onto forever.
She had a lifelong passion for caring for animals, especially exotic birds and her beloved Vizslas. In recent years, she loved her time at the dog park with Lucy and Gus, who will continue to be loved and cared for by our family.
She is deeply missed by her children, Melissa (Mark) Stevens and John "JR" Ritter; grandchildren Blake Ritter (Megan), Aiden "AJ" Ritter, Alayna Slobodnik, and Macey Stevens; great-granddaughters Evy and Chloe Ritter; and sisters Marsha Pray and Roberta Purdy. She is preceded in death by her parents and her devoted husband, John.
We take comfort knowing she was not alone in her final moments and received gentle care.
Pat's warmth, humor, and generous spirit touched every life around her. The love she gave will forever live on through her family, her pets, and the countless memories she leaves with all who knew her.
