It is with a profound sense of sadness that we announce the passing of RaeAnn Cheon, age 66, of Lincoln Park, NJ. Surrounded by the love and care of her family, RaeAnn passed away peacefully on Wednesday, May 14, 2025.
Born in Paterson, NJ, RaeAnn was the beloved daughter of Henry and Muriel Bogert and one of two children. Her early years were spent in Paterson before her family settled in West Paterson (now known as Woodland Park), where she was raised and graduated from Passaic Valley High School, Class of 1976.
After high school, RaeAnn began her professional life at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Paterson. She worked there for several years before embracing the role of full-time homemaker following the birth of her first son, Ronald. Her second son, Christopher, soon followed, and the family later moved to Wayne, NJ, before RaeAnn eventually made her home in Lincoln Park.
As her children grew older, RaeAnn returned to the workforce, joining the Lincoln Park Care Center in the Medical Records department. She served there with quiet dedication for more than two decades until her passing.
RaeAnn was a gentle and private soul who found her greatest joy in family. She was deeply devoted to her children, grandchildren, and her sister, and treasured every moment spent with them. Her love and selflessness were the heart of her family, and her presence will be deeply missed.
She fell into the role of grandmother with such excitement, joy, pride, and love and willingly gave that to her grandchildren up until her last breath. From daycare pickups, dance recitals, talent shows, sleepovers, birthday parties, times spent at the Jersey Shore, and holidays, Grandma was ALWAYS there, with arms full of presents, of course!
RaeAnn is survived by her loving sons: Ronald Cheon and his wife Molly Cunder of West Orange, NJ, and Christopher Cheon and his wife Divna Burchici of Roxbury, NJ; her dear sister Debbie Sampat and her husband Vijay of Clifton, NJ; and her cherished grandchildren, Penelope and Jason Cheon. She was predeceased by her parents, Henry and Muriel Bogert.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in RaeAnn’s memory to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation
