Deborah Ritchie

Deborah Ritchie, 75, of Haverhill, passed away peacefully on January 26, 2026.

She was the beloved wife of the late Joseph Ritchie, a devoted mother to Shawn, Jay, and Sherry and a cherished sister. Deborah was a cherished grandmother to nine grandchildren and a loving great-grandmother to seven great-grandchildren. Her home and heart were always open to family and friends. 

Known for her warmth, compassion, and gentle spirit, Deborah leaves a lasting legacy of love, laughter, and unwavering devotion to her family. Her presence brightened the lives of all who were fortunate to know her, and though she will be deeply missed, the love, joy, and kindness she shared will live on forever in the hearts of her family and friends.

Deborah’s family will honor her memory privately, cherishing the moments and love they shared. As Elvis once said, “It’s not how much you have in life, but how much you enjoy it,” a sentiment that perfectly reflects the joy, laughter, and love she brought to everyone around her.
