Obituary for Maybelle Ray (Roshto)

Her children arise up, and call her blessed, her husband also and he praiseth her. Proverbs 31:28
Mrs. Maybelle Roshto Ray, a woman of faith and the heart of our family, was age 90 years old when she passed from this life on Wednesday, November 14, 2018. Her strong will to live and her unwavering faith was a wonderful example to her family and friends. She was also a mighty prayer warrior, relentlessly praying for her family and for others.

Mrs. Maybelle was born on December 23, 1927 in the Rigolette Community to Mitchell and Gladys Roshto. Throughout her life she won the hearts and trust of many in her family, church, and community. Her joy was teaching and loving the Tiny Tots at her church where she taught for over 50 years.
Mrs. Maybelle faithfully cared for family and friends through tireless cooking, canning, baking, sewing and gardening. The highlight of her week was serving Sunday lunch to those she loved which included family and friends.
