William Boyd Ritenour

On Wednesday, August 9, 2017, William "Bill" Boyd Ritenour, 79, of Florence, SC went home.

He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Peggy Lee Beeler Ritenour; his daughters, Mona Lisa Ritenour of Memphis, TN and Susette Lee Ritenour of Centreville, VA; and his sister Connie Ritenour Boyd of Winchester, VA.

He is now reunited with his mother, Goldie Geneva Whitmer Ritenour and father, Vernon Boyd Ritenour, both of Strasburg, VA.

Bill is a graduate of Strasburg High School and grew up in the Shenandoah Valley.

On June 8, 1957 he married Miss Peggy Lee Beeler in Strasburg, VA.

A Vietnam Veteran, he volunteered to serve his country in the United States Air Force, stationed at Soesterberg Air Force Base in Holland for four years and then Turner Air Force Base in GA.

In 1967, Bill left the Air Force to focus on family life. As a master craftsman, Bill specialized in fireplaces and facades. After retiring from masonry, he worked for Maintenance and Storm Water Management with Fairfax County and retired after 21 years.

With his extended family of nieces, nephews, cousins and also friends and co-workers, we will celebrate his life at Shiloh Church at 573 Clary Road, Strasburg, VA on August 19 at 1:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served in the Fellowship Hall.

If you prefer to formally memorialize Bill, please consider donating to The Leukemia And Lymphoma Society or the Strasburg Volunteer Fire Department.
