AUBURN: Gilmay I. Cayer, 79, of Lewiston peacefully passed away at the Sarah Frye Home in Auburn on Wednesday May 23, 2018 with her loving family by her side. She was born in Madawaska on October 23, 1938 a daughter of the late Joseph and Irene (Chasse) Fraser. At a young age, her family moved to Lewiston where she attended St. Peter's School. On August 30, 1958 she married Ronald A. Cayer at Ss. Peter & Paul Church in Lewiston and they enjoyed 57 years together; working hard, building a family and a large circle of friends.
