We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Lena Ritchie (Sharon), who was born on February 9, 1953, in concord, North Carolina. She peacefully left this world on March 20, 2025 in her home in Norwood.
Sharon was a loving wife to Grover Steve Ritchie, whom she married in 1970. Together, they raised a wonderful son named Casey Ritchie, who brought them so much joy. Casey later married Stephanie, and Sharon was blessed with two beloved grandchildren, Tristin and Cadyn and one great granddaughter Aspen
Sharon attended West Stanly High School, where she graduated in 1971. She was a diligent student and made many wonderful friendships during her time there.
She had a variety of hobbies that brought her happiness. Sharon had a green thumb and loved spending time in her garden, nurturing her plants flowers, and vegetables. She also enjoyed canning foods to preserve the harvest from her garden. Most of all, Sharon cherished spending time with her family, cooking and creating memorable moments with her loved ones.
Sharon will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her kindness, warmth, and love will never be forgotten.
