Jean Christine (Lauvray) Raber

Jean C. Raber, 84, of Coshocton passed away at her home surrounded by family on Wednesday, April 10, 2024. She was born in Coshocton on August 16, 1939 to the late Vincent Francis and Laura (Hiser) Lauvray.
After graduating from Sacred Heart High School, Jean worked at the County Home before marrying her husband, Noah Raber, on October 8, 1960. She loved being a homemaker, wife, mom, grandmother and great grandmother. She was always ready for visitors with coffee, mint tea, milk and cookies or was willing to cook up a full meal for visitors to enjoy. Her cooking and baking hold many memories for all her family and friends, especially her grandchildren who helped her bake cookies.  She loved to share her love for cooking. Her kitchen table was the best place to be. Even if you couldn't visit her, she was just a phone call away and was willing to lend an ear on the phone listening while she sat at her kitchen table.
She enjoyed seeing all the cardinals and blue jays that came to her feeder that was in her flower gardens that she loved tending too. She also enjoyed collecting bells.
