Desiree A. T. Ritch

Desire'e, affectionately known as "Tink", was the cherished daughter of Davia L. Pollard and Darion Andre Ten'e Ritch. Born on October 28, 2021, at Johns Hopkins Bayview Hospital in Baltimore, MD, she was lovingly christened at Memorial Baptist Church.

Though Desire'e was just two years old, her vibrant spirit shone brightly. While she didn't attend formal education, she was well-loved and nurtured at home, eagerly preparing to start Head Start when she turned three. Tink was incredibly smart, outspoken, and full of energy-a true dancing machine whose joy was infectious. She had a playful spirit, often delighting in her favorite phrases and enjoying shows like CoComelon.

Desire'e shared a special bond with her sister, Daloni Zorra Pollard. They were the best of friends, always together- sleeping, eating, crying and making messes. Their connections was so deep that you might have thought Desire'e was the older sister, guiding and sharing in the joys of childhood.

Desire'e was loved by so many, and she leaves behind a legacy of cherished memories. She is survived by her mother, Davia L. Pollard; her father, Darion Andre Ten'e Ritch; her sister, Daloni Zorra Pollard; her aunts Danielle, Malia, Davione, Brenaeja, Lakisha, Tricey and more; her uncles Gabriel, Dale, Kileal, Davonte and others; her grandparents, Shakia, James, Lashondra, David, and Damien; and her great-grandparents, Stacey, Laura, Carolyn, Daniel, Queensher and Charles B. Each of them will hold her memory close to their hearts.
