Born and raised in Melrose to the late Bernard and Thelma (Croteau) Johnson. She later raised her family in Malden. She was a waitress for many years, and her last waitress position was at the world famous Hilltop Steak House. Raye loved to bake and her signature dish was her carrot cake. Ironically, she did not start baking until after her children moved out of the house, go figure. She cherished her time spent with family and friends.
Raye is the devoted mother of Michael Weiss and Roberta Sherman; cherished grandmother of Michael Sherman, Zachary Weiss, Joshua Weiss, Alexander Weiss, and Nathaniel Weiss; dear great grandmother of Opie, Asa, Josie, Natalie, Ryan, Holly, and Nora; and the loving sister of Judith Losanno and Bernard Johnson.
Friends and family are invited to attend Raye’s visitation on Monday, June 19, 2023 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Cuffe-McGinn Funeral Home, 157 Maple Street, Lynn. Her funeral service will follow in the funeral home at 12:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy may be made in her memory to Dementia Society of America, www.dementiasociety.org/donate.
