Raymond Demeter

May 17, 1933 - December 23, 2020

Raymond L Demeter, 87, passed away peacefully on December 23, 2020 at Robert Wood Johnson, Hamilton. Born in Trenton to Louis Demeter and Jennie Trotti, he lived most of his life in Crosswicks. After graduating from Trenton High School, he served in the Army during the Korean War. After the Army, Ray began his career as a mechanical engineer working for Peter Kiewit & Son and he retired from Donald C Rodner, Inc. Ray was a commissioner for the Crosswicks Fire Company. Ray enjoyed hunting, golfing and bird watching in the environs of Chesterfield Township. He loved baseball, the NY Giants and Opera. He loved having picnics for his extended family. He rarely missed an athletic and school event that involved his children, and later, his grandchildren. Ray loved foreign cars and was able to fulfill a longtime dream by owning several of his favorite car - Mercedes Benz. He loved animals, especially the many dogs that shared his life. Ray loved talking to people; he could regularly be seen talking to someone at the Crosswicks‘ Post Office, local stores and events like the Crosswicks Fire House's pancake breakfasts which he seemed to be more host than worker. Ray will be remembered fondly by many people for many different things, but one overarching memory will be his unconditional dedication and love for his family. Ray was predeceased by his parents Louis "Whitey" Demeter and Jennie (Trotti) Demeter. Left to cherish his precious memory is his loving wife Virginia (Hedden) Demeter of 63 years, his children Bruce (Deborah) Demeter, Nancy (Frank) Sumpter, and Douglas Demeter and Melissa Ranalli; his loving grandchildren who were the light of his life, Meagan, Sara, Amy and Hannah Demeter; his daughter in law Karen P. Demeter, brother in law Richard Hedden and many family, friends and loved ones. Services will be in North Crosswicks Cemetery in a private ceremony at the convenience of the family, In lieu of flowers, please make a contribution in Ray's name to the United Presbyterian Church of Yardville, 12 Yardville Hamilton Square Rd, Yardville, NJ 08620.
