Ray LaDuke Obituary

Ray was born on July 8, 1939 and died on May 25, 2024 at the age of 84. Ray is survived by his wife of 58 years (Charlotte Z. LaDuke), his 9 children, Mena Flud (Jayson), Lula LaDuke, Cecelia McDowell (Charles), Ray LaDuke, Josie Gillingham (Brian), Charlie Berg (Ken), Shalle LaDuke-Rhodes (Chris), Lorinda Najera (Jesus), Lawrence LaDuke. Ray is also survived by 22 grandchildren, 22 great grandchildren, 3 great great grandchildren, 1 brother and 2 sisters. Ray was preceded in death by his parents, 7 brothers, 8 sisters and 2 grandchildren. Ray enjoyed spending time with his family, gardening and crocheting blankets for his loved ones. Ray always made time to talk about Jehovah and had a firm belief in his faith. His favorite scripture was Malachi 3:16 " At that time those who fear Jehovah spoke with one another, each one with his companion, and Jehovah kept paying attention and listening. And a book of remembrance was written before him and for those hearing Jehovah and for those meditating on his name." It's hard to compile 84 years in a couple of paragraphs. Ray will be greatly missed by his family, who will continue to cherish his memory.
