In Loving Memory: Life Member Chris Raymond

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of one of our own, Life Member Christine, “Chris” Raymond.

A fixture of Summit EMS since 2002, Chris kept us all in line with a sharp wit and a steady. From serving as a Crew Chief and Lieutenant to organizing our annual 4th of July picnics, Chris didn't just serve our community; she made this Squad a home.

The Raymond family has been the heart of our agency for over two decades. Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with Erol, Richard, Matt, and the entire family during this time.

Chris, thank you for teaching us what it truly means to be "Neighbors Helping Neighbors." You will be deeply missed.

Viewing: Tuesday 3/24 5pm-8pm at Ippolitios in Summit

Funeral Mass: Wednesday 3/25 10am at Our Lady of Peace in New Providence

Repast will be held at the Squad from 12-3. Lunch will be provided; all are welcome.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Children's Specialized Hospital, Center of Hope in Scotch Plains, and Summit EMS.

On Wednesday night, we had over 20 neighbors show up to our community CPR class! We covered everything from infant safety to using an AED. When every second counts, knowing what to do is the most valuable tool you can have. We’re very thankful to this group for taking the time to learn how to protect our community!
