Born to Beverly and Sherwood Raymond in Norwich, CT. She had a happy childhood growing up on farm. After she graduated from Norwich Free Academy, she went on to further her education at Nason College in Springvale, Maine graduated with a Bachelors’ degree in 1978.

Enjoying her time she spent with her grandchildren, gardening and cooking. Spending her summers in Maine and winters in Florida. A happy life.

There will be a reception at Blue Slope Country Museum, 138 Blue Hill Road, Franklin, CT following the service.
Rest in peace my little angel; love you with all my heart.
