Obituary of Eleanor Ritchie

July 12, 1934 – December 3, 2022 It is with sadness that we announce that Eleanor passed away peacefully at the Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital on Saturday December 3, 2022 at the age of 88. Beloved wife of the late Morris Evans Ritchie. Lovingly remembered by her daughters Bonnie Ortega (Julian) of San Diego and Brenda Carter (Henry Szkarlat) of Arnprior. Proud Gran of Liana Woodfield (Spencer), Laura Carter, and Sara Anne Carter (Vincent Reed). Doting Great-Gran of Carter, Eva, William and Aubrey. Dear sister of Alice Halpenny of Ottawa. Predeceased by brother Robert Halpenny. Daughter of the late Earl and Mae (Metcalfe) Halpenny. Eleanor will also be missed by her nieces and nephews. Eleanor worked at the admitting desk at Arnprior and District Memorial Hospital for 27 years and during her career also worked at Playtex, Dow Badische and retired from First Air in Carp. In her spare time, Eleanor was a bookkeeper for several small businesses. She enjoyed curling, bowling, snowmobiling and spending time with family and friends at the summer cottage at Rhoddy’s Bay. In her latter years, after moving from Castleford to their new home in Arnprior, she spent many wonderful occasions with her friends and family on the deck and in the pool. She was especially proud when each of her great-grandchildren learned how to swim. Eleanor and Morris belonged to the United Church in Arnprior and Castleford. She will always be remembered for her genuine kindness and interest in others and her happy spirit. Heartfelt thanks to the staff at Arnprior & District Memorial Hospital and Eleanor’s PSWs.
