We Remember

RITCHIE, Donald James

June 29, 1933 — June 17, 2023

We sadly announce the passing of Don Ritchie on June 17, 2023, at the age of 89. He courageously battled back from heart disease, strokes, and cancers. After a long fight, he passed peacefully at the Kelowna General Hospital.

A resident of Kelowna since 1967, Don enjoyed an active life and a long teaching career. His spare time was spent with family, friends, travel, choirs, golf, fun, and lots of games. Most recently he filled his days with activities, fun, and excursions during his stay at the Dorchester.

Don was predeceased by his wife of 62 years, Val. He is survived by his children Heather (Stu), and David (Donna-Rose); grandchildren Duncan (Brittany), and Jennifer; and great-grandson Mason.

Live your life to the fullest every day, and stay connected to family and friends!
