QUIGLEY, Gitta (nee RITTER) - Gitta passed away peacefully on February 10, 2018 at home with her family after a courageous fight against metastatic breast cancer.
Born July 23, 1952 in Neuss, West Germany, Gitta worked for the German government before immigrating to Canada in 1972.
Finding love in the dashing architect Garnet Quigley, they were happily married for 40 years.
Gitta was a bon vivant, glamour queen, daring wisecracker, badminton enthusiast, gourmet girl and social snowbird.
She loved to drink wine, garden, travel to sunny locales and walk with her rescue dogs. Gitta was a caring mother to Jennifer (Pascal) and Kyla (Scott); spirited step-mother to Christopher and Angela; Nitta to Tyler; Nana to Collin; magnetic friend; the life of every party; and pal to many furry and feathered creatures.
The memorial service will be held at St. Augustine of Canterbury Anglican Church, 1847 Bayview Avenue, on Saturday, February 17th at 2 p.m.
Donations on her behalf may be made to the Toronto Humane Society .
