She was predeceased by her parents, Vieno and Olavi Ritala of Finnish descent.
Irma was born and raised in Timmins, Ontario and grew up on a farm with her 2 sisters. Aspiring to become a nurse, she attended the Plummer Memorial Public Hospital School of Nursing in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, and proudly graduated with a silver medal in 1964, She then met Ronald Diotte on a blind date and they fell madly in love and were married shortly after in 1965. Irma left the Nursing profession to raise her 3 children, but never stopped being a “Nurse” and caregiver to her family and so many others in her life.
A True Angel on Earth. Lepää rauhassa (Rest in Peace), paljon rakkautta (much love).
