Betty was conceived in Cobalt, Ontario and born in Dartmouth, South Devon, England on March 6, 1926 to Lionel Roy and Kate Eliza Kent Tomney (nee Binnie) and older brother, Roy. She fell in love and married Canadian leading seaman, Thomas Stewart Ritchie (deceased 2012), and became one of the many war brides who travelled on the Aquitania in March, 1946. She was warmly welcomed in Winnipeg by in-laws, Janet and Daniel Ritchie, and their children Walter and Denise Ritchie, Margaret and Dan Sacks, and Alex and Del Ritchie. Betty and Tom had three children, Brian (deceased 2003) and Wendy, Bob and Linda Ritchie, Susan and Frank (deceased 2016) Romanelli, along with five wonderful grandchildren and five adorable great-grandchildren. She will remain in our hearts and minds forever more.
