We Remember
Ritchey, Editha (Betty)
March 15, 1922 — December 23, 2012
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Betty, at the age of 90. She will be lovingly remembered by her son, Randy Ritchey, and her daughter Sherry (Dennis) Husch. Also left to mourn her passing are her five grandchildren, Naeomi Dawson, Ryan (Marika) Husch, Rory (Jaime) Husch, Wyatt Husch, and Jeffrey Braun (Ritchey), eight great grandchildren, Jacob, Jarryn and Hunter Dawson, Mackenzie, Weston and Brooklyn Husch, Tasia and Phoenyx Husch, as well as many nieces, nephews and friends. Predeceased by the love of her life husband Ron Ritchey in 2009, father and mother Rex and Editha Dolman and brother Tom Dolman. Betty was born in Rimbey, Alberta, but lived 70 years of her life in BC. Betty was married to Ron in 1946. They moved to Kelowna in 1954, and have resided here ever since, 50 of these years in the same house. Betty’s happy, cheerful and friendly personality endeared her to all that met her. Betty lived a happy, full life with Ron, doing the things she loved, traveling, camping, fishing, gardening ad spending many happy hours with her family and friends. We are all comforted with the thought that Betty is once again with her dear RITCH, as she so lovingly called him. We miss you, and will always remember you, dearest mom, gramma, great gramma, and friend. A memorial service will be held on Friday, January 11, 2013 at 1:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna. Should family and friends so desire, donations may be made to the Salvation Army or the Gospel Mission.
