He attended Sil- verton High School, where he met and married the love of his life and the best part- ner anyone could ever ask for, Ivy Jo. From there, the two of them moved to Valsetz, where they built a life full of family, friends, and fun for over 35 years. From Valsetz to Sheridan in 1984, Ray continued to build a beautiful home and surroundings for all to come and enjoy. Whether it be fishing, camping, crabbing, four- wheeling, or making some of the most beautiful wood- work, Ray loved it all and loved sharing it all. To say he will be missed is an understatement, but the love and memories will live on with all of us who were ever touched by him throughout the years of that well-lived life. Ray is survived by Ivy, his loving wife of 66 years; son Ray VanEpps Jr. (Arlene); daughter Charlotte Foster (Brad); and three grand- daughters, Audrey, Andrea, and Hailey.
