Charles Raymond “Ray” Vos, 79, of Daugherty Township, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Wednesday, January 22, 2025, at Heritage Valley Beaver.

Born August 7, 1945, in Clay Center, KS, the son of the late Dr. J.G. and Marian (Milligan) Vos, Ray was a 1963 graduate of Beaver Falls High School and a 1967 graduate of Geneva College. After graduating from Geneva, he spent his working life serving others. After working at the Youth Development Center in New Castle, he served as the Director of the Children's Home in New Brighton, and then as the Executive Director of Passavant Memorial Homes in Rochester. Ray then pursued a degree in nursing from Ohio Valley General Hospital, graduating in 1991. During his nursing career his main focus was rehabilitation, working at D.T. Watson/HealthSouth, Ohio Valley General Hospital, Western Penitentiary, the Beaver County Jail and the Mars Home for Youth. Ray especially enjoyed woodworking and spending time with his grandchildren. One thing he especially enjoyed was baking with them, using old family recipes dating back to the 19th century. He also loved making breakfast for them. Over the years, Ray led many Bible Studies at various churches. He was a member of the First Reformed Presbyterian Church in Patterson, and had also attended Marion Hill Christian & Missionary Alliance Church, Allegheny Center Alliance Church, and the former Geneva Reformed Presbyterian Church, where he had served as a Deacon. For many years, he also supported two children from Burkina Faso through Compassion International.
