Biography:

Mildred Kathleen Seigars Rittall, beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother, age 85, died on September 6, 2020.  Mildred was born in Richmond on March 13th, 1935 and was the daughter of the late Dexter and Madeline Seigars. Mildred attended Richmond schools. On December 10, 1954 she married Charles William Rittall of Dresden.  Mildred was a homemaker and child care provider. After her children were grown, she worked at Walton's Nursing Home in Richmond as a CNA. She later worked at the Plant Memorial Home in Bath until she retired.  
Mildred loved her scratch tickets, iced coffee, puzzles, Find-A-Word books and hand sewing potholders and table runners.  She did beautiful embroidery pieces that family members will cherish forever.  She loved blue lights on her Christmas tree and Christmas morning with her family.  In later years, family would be elbow to elbow in the kitchen, cleaning up after Christmas dinner, with her directing us to where everything needed to be put away. 
We will miss her blueberry and apple pies, raspberry squares, her sour pickles and whoopie pies.  
She enjoyed breakfast on Mother's Day with her children, sisters and other family members, at Kimberly's Restaurant in Richmond.  She loved to tell people of how the whole restaurant sang her Happy Birthday on her 85th birthday.
She is predeceased by her husband of 61 years, Charles Rittall, her three brothers, Dexter Seigars, Herbert Seigars, and Frank Seigars, her sister, Elizabeth Tobey, grandson Michael Haskell Jr and son-in-law Dwight Cook.
