She was a member of Donalsonville First Baptist Church where she attended the Friends Sunday School class. Before becoming a member at First Baptist, Mrs. Gray spent most of her life as an active member of First Presbyterian Church of Donalsonville and still held a deep love for that church. She leaves to cherish her memory, her husband Espy Gray of Donalsonville, GA; three sons, Tracy Horne and his wife Natalie of Iron City, GA, John Gray and his wife Sherry of Iron City, GA, and Tom Gray and his wife Jeannean of Hartselle, AL; two step-brothers, Charles (Buddy) North and his wife Frances of Donalsonville, GA and Mike North and his wife Betty of Iron City, GA; and a step-sister, Elaine Cross of Donalsonville, GA.
