On May 3, 2017, Patricia Anne Ritter passed away at the age of 54.

She was born on Sept. 14, 1962, in Chicago Ito (the late) Gene and Anne Nowotarski. She is survived by her loving daughter Olivia and husband Steve; brothers James, John  and Vicente; nieces and nephews Isaiah-Seth, Mesopotamia, Maria-Elena, Ricardo, Josue, Claudia and Amara; step-daughters Stephanie and Alicia; and granddaughter Sophia.

Patti was taken from us all too soon to fathom. Consequently, the world was robbed of her beauty, talent, compassion and selflessness. The love she had for her family and friends was ever-present and constant within her. She inspired many around her as she always sought to help others, as was reflected in her career choice of nursing. Patti, continue your search for peace, love, and happiness on the other side and watch over all of us as we continue our life’s journey on earth.

Please join our family as we remember and celebrate the life of Patricia Anne Ritter on Saturday, June 17 at 10 a.m. at the Eureka Pentecostal Church, 1060 Hoover Street Eureka.
