Obituary for Teresa Louise Ritter (Ritter)
In Loving Memory of Teresa Louise Kay (Ritter)
Teresa was born in East York, Toronto, Ontario, August 23, 1964 and passed away peacefully at the age of 57 on March 18, 2022, due to complications following a courageous twenty-one year battle with an extremely debilitating form of multiple sclerosis. Through the support of family members, close friends, and community support services, Teresa was able to be lovingly cared at home until four days before her passing. Teresa leaves her life partner and dedicated caregiver Alan Kay reflecting on their journey and the almost 25 years they shared together.
Teresa’s attitude and smile left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her. Even though her illness robbed her of the opportunity to accomplish all that she might have in her life, her optimism, courage and persistence taught valuable life lessons to all with whom she shared her journey with. Teresa maintained her smile and sense of humour right through to her final days. “Teresa was truly an amazing person.”
Teresa and Alan have made Haliburton County their home since 1999. Teresa leaves behind many friends and relatives.
Any kind of support to the Multiple Sclerosis Society would be greatly appreciated and can be arranged through the Gordon A. Monk Funeral Home Ltd., P.O. Box 427, Minden, Ontario K0M 2K0.
