RITCHEY PATRICIA M. (CURTZ) Age 96, formerly of Penn Hills, passed away peacefully at her daughter's home in Illinois on November 22, 2015. Loving wife to the late Robert J. Ritchey and amazing mom to Gail LoDolce (John Peralta), CA, Roberta Seigel (Marty), Illinois, Kevin (Patti), PA, Kerry (Kathy), PA; nine grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren. Upon retirement at age 69 from the Township of Penn Hills where she was affectionately known as Mother Ritchey, Patricia spent 17 years volunteering at the Penn Hills Senior Center. Patricia had a strong work ethic. Her active retirement included line dancing, card clubs, bowling, shopping, lunches with friends. With her great style, she was asked to do some fashion show modeling in her 80s and 90s. Patricia was a friend to many, always putting others' needs ahead of her own. Genuinely sweet, she was kindhearted, generous and showed profound loyalty to family and friends. The twinkle in her eye, her infectious laugh and beautiful smile will be missed dearly by all those who had the privilege to know her. A celebration of her life will take place in Pittsburgh in March. To honor her, the family asks that you do a random act of kindness. Send condolences post-gazette.com/gb
