Camille Ritchie

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Camille Ritchie on November 27, 2024, at the age of 72. A cherished mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, Camille will be forever remembered for her vibrant spirit, boundless kindness, and warm smile that lit up every room. 

In her golden years, Camille embraced the joys of retirement in sunny Florida, where she formed a close-knit circle of friends. She spent her days learning to play dominos, lounging by the pool, and savoring the beauty of life. Before retiring, Camille dedicated her career to improving the lives of others as a skilled and compassionate occupational therapist, specializing in working with autistic children. Her gentle patience and unwavering commitment left a lasting impact on countless families. 

Camille’s legacy lives on through her beloved son, Richard Fogel, his wife Laura, and her treasured grandson Jason, who was the light of her life. She is also survived by her brothers Frank and Michael, her sister-in-law AnnMarie, and her two nephews. Camille joins her parents, Helen and Sonny, her daughter Caitlin, and her siblings, John and Marianne, in eternal rest.

 Camille’s life was a testament to love, laughter, and resilience. She was a free spirit and a true original and will be missed. 

A celebration of Camille's life will be held on Saturday January 4, 2025, between the hours of 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM at Pelham Funeral Home located at 64 Lincoln Ave, Pelham NY 10803.

In Lieu of flowers, donations, in memory of Camille, may be made to Autism Speaks.
