Louise (Kirby) Ray, 98, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family at 5 am on Tuesday, April 27, 2021, at Mass General Hospital in Boston. The sun was rising and reflecting off the tall glass buildings with a church steeple outlined on one of them. The sky was a beautiful pink. It seemed as if she picked this time to go since sunrises were her favorite time of day.

Born in 1923 in Beverly, Mass., she was the daughter of the late Perley W. Kirby and Ruth (Homan) Kirby. She was a lifetime resident of Beverly with the exception of a few years in Lynn after she married a Lynn firefighter. She resided in Revere the last few years with her daughter on the ocean that she loved.
