Raye was caring, kind, and considerate, always putting others first. She lived her life with quiet generosity and a deep love for her family, offering steady support and warmth to everyone who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Erv Horman; her parents; and her sister, Pat.

Raye is survived by her daughter, Kim (Steve) Deering; her beloved grandchildren, Maddie and Lila; her sister, Lynne McIlvaine; and her brother, Harry (Sarah) McIlvaine. She is also survived by her stepchildren, Jody (Melissa) Horman and their sons Andy, Sam, and JT, and Emilie (Florant) Coulon and her son Ethan.

Raye will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her selflessness, and the love she gave so freely to her family.

So sorry to hear about Rayes passing, we were good friends in high school, and as life would have it we lost touch, my best memories is riding around town on her scooter, she was a hoot! A lot of good memories! My condolences to her family!
