Lorraine Elizabeth Gertrude Ritchie (nee Niblett) passed peacefully on Saturday, October 5th, 2024, at the age of 93. She was predeceased by her husband, Edwin (Ted) Ritchie. Lorraine was a devoted and loving mother to Ted Ritchie (Tracy), Chris Ritchie (Melanie), Janette Jewitt, and Michele Rampino (Michael). She was a beloved grandmother to Jason, Lisa (Riley), Tyler (Samantha), Ashley (Jamie), Colton (Heather), William, Stephanie, Luke, and Johnathan, and a cherished great-grandmother to Shyla, Brayden, Jolene, Ryder, Austin, Everleigh, Theo, and Cinder. The family extends their deep gratitude to the staff at Age Care Samac in Oshawa and Abbeylawn Manor for their compassionate care of Lorraine.

Lorraine was always helping others in her community. Her volunteer work at Chartland Junior Public School, Scarborough Grace Hospital, Agincourt Civitan Club, The March of Dimes, and Bowmanville Memorial Hospital Foundation brought her great joy. Her kindness, generosity, and love of family and friends will be remembered by all who knew her.
