Both sisters were born in California the daughters of Kenneth R. and Betty (Drehr) Ritter. Debra passed away on March 18, 2018 and Bonnie on May 9, 2018. The sisters were inseparable and would be honored that this tribute is for both of them.

They lived most of their lives in California and Iowa but considered Charles City there home. Each sister was blessed with one child, Bonnie with Tonya; and Debbie with Sabrina. Both daughters reside in California. Both sisters made their final home at Ravenwood Care Center in Waterloo.

Bonnie and Debra were colorful individuals that loved tattoos and partying. They both were spontaneous and had a great sense of humor that could cheer up anyone that was having a rough day. The sister’s greatest joy was spending time with their family.

For a time in their lives Bonnie and Debbie walked down some dark paths full of challenges and hurdles. They endured many hardships on those journeys. They were thankful that God’s Grace was always with them and that HE understood that we as human don’t always make the best decisions. Their family is grateful they are now at peace.

Living family members include brothers: Ronald Ritter, Kenneth Ritter and Marty Sigler; nieces: Ruth Hildahl, Heather Cory, Starla Ritter and Sherry Ritter; Nephews: Dustin Ritter and David Reibsamen; many friends.

The girls were preceded in death by their parents, grandparents and bothers Mike, Kenny and Robert.

Those planning an expression of sympathy may direct memorials to P.O. Box 219, Greene, Iowa, 50636.
