Lifelong Shrewsbury resident, Red Bank Regional High School (RBR) Class of 1996 graduate, mom, teacher, volunteer, Little Peas of Mind co-owner, Rayna Eyerman, passed away unexpectedly on June 9, as the result of sudden heart failure. She was 44.
Rayna was born on Sept. 1, 1978 in Staten Island, NY, but was a lifelong resident of Shrewsbury. Like her children, she attended Shrewsbury Borough School and RBR, where she graduated in 1992 and 1996, respectively. At RBR, she met her high school sweetheart Keith, whom she married in 2002.
After graduating Rowan University in 2000 with a degree in Spanish and early childhood education, Rayna started her career as a teacher, and her love for children brought her to have nine of her own. Her loving and caring nature even motivated her to start her own business with a friend, Little Peas of Mind, where she was able to care for so many kids.
She is survived by: her husband, Keith; children TJ, Andrew, Veronica, Ryan, Henry, Eve, Jane, and Wilson, in addition to her brother Matthew (Amanda), sister Katie (José), and parents Gerald and Marcia. “The family is comforted knowing she is able to reunite with her beloved daughter Lucy in heaven.”
A memorial gathering will be held on Friday, June 16, from 2 to 4 and 6 to 9 p.m. at Thompson Memorial Home, Red Bank. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, June 17, at 11 a.m. at Tower Hill Church, 255 Harding Rd, Red Bank. A reception will immediately follow the service at the adjacent Webster Hall.
