R B Newell

Raymond Newell was born Monday May 15,1939, in Heflin, Alabama, to the union of Ora Lee Sterling and Columbus Newell. He was one of five children. He was a special and successful son. He became a devoted husband and a loving protective parent.

Raymond graduated from Carver High School in Gadsden, Alabama from there he graduated 'basic training' and graduated 2nd Battalion, Platoon 187 Parris Island, South Carolinas, September 1957. He served with the 2nd field artillery group Camp Lejeune from June 1957 to June 1961, plus two years stand by in San Francisco, California. Raymond earned a Bachelor Degree in Business Administration from the University of Phoenix.

Ray had a position at Intel in Santa Clara, California and BAX Global. Enjoying Export and Import International for many years. Ray had a reputation of being kind to everyone he met. He and his family were, well known members of the Police Athletics League of 10 years, and Kiwanis International 20 years.

In 1965 he was united in (the bonds of) holy matrimony to Barbara·Ann Perry, now she is Emma Roberta Hightower­ Newell in San Francisco, California. This union was blessed with three children. Raised with Love, Care and Discipline. R. B. was an exceptional husband.

R.B. was affectionately known as Raymond by family and friends. Although, R. B. had a calm and unwavering personality, he was very humorous. He was a caring and loving father; a praying grandfather. He gave friendly advice to anyone that asked for it. He was respected.

Raymond's battle and suffering with Chronic Kidney Disease ended on Thursday March 9, 2023. It was a hard journey. We believe that God granted him peace and everlasting love. It's hard to express in words how much R. B. will be missed. We loved him dearly.

Thank you, Beloved Raymond, for blessing our family. As he sits on the lap of the Lord; engulfed in Love, he leaves to cherish his memory.; his loving and devoted wife Emma of 57 blissful years; daughter Amani, son Craig and son David and his sister's Mary Billingsley, Annie Minniefield and 14 beautiful grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends living around the USA.

He was preceded in death by his sister Retha Tremble and brother Arthur Tremble.

Sorrowfully Submitted by The Family.
