In Celebration of

Eleonore Ritthaler

May 28, 1927 -  September 29, 2019

Peacefully, at Dorothy Ley Hospice, with her family and friends by her side, on Sunday, September 29, 2019, at the age of 92. Loving mother of Roy and his wife Kara. Adored Oma to Thomas, Jacob, Amelia, Elisabeth and Sophie. Dear sister of the late Erich, Willi, and Hermann. Dearly loved wife and companion of the late William. She will be lovingly remembered by her cousin Margot Nutzenberger and her children Frank (Kim) and Barb, and many relatives and friends in Germany and Canada. Eleonore was gracious and kind and extended hospitality to many people over the years. She continued adding friends to her vast circle of love until she died. She knitted, made quilts, loved to play cards, gardened exuberantly, cooked and entertained for many, was a pioneering businesswoman and volunteered extensively at St Phillips Church and in the community. She will be missed by all who knew her. Friends may call at the Turner & Porter Butler Chapel, 4933 Dundas St. W., at Burnhamthorpe, on Sunday from 2-5 p.m. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at St. Philip’s Lutheran Church, 61 West Deane Park Dr., Toronto, on Monday, October 7, 2019 at 11 a.m. If desired, in lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made to the Dorothy Ley Hospice and St. Philips’s Lutheran Church.

Eleonore was a wonderful woman. I loved visiting with her every time I saw her, which wasn’t often. There are people you are genuinely happy to see and she was one of them. Her cookies were extraordinary, her manners impeccable, and she exuded proficiency in all that she pursued. She will be missed. Our prayers go out to you all.

Karl and Christine Schnabel (Loving friends)

We met Eleonore 25 years ago and have been close friends ever since. We enjoyed her company very much. She was a wonderful and strong woman. She will be badly missed.

Meg and Dave Williams (Friends)

We originally met Eleonore in Hamilton when Roy and our son Norman shared an apartment thirty eight years ago attending Mc Master university.
Over those thirty eight years we have enjoyed many glasses of red wine together.
We will really miss the friendship.
Meg and Dave.
