She completed high school in St. Louis at John Burroughs School and went on to graduate from Texas Christian University where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Education. Although serving as a teacher for years, no single job title could ever fully contain her talents.

She excelled in the role as a loving wife of 43 years to Andy, with whom they shared years of ranching, providing medical assistance to people in the community, and raising their family together. She provided a constant source of love, support, and laughter to not only their friends and patients but to everyone she encountered.Survivors include her husband, Dr. Andy John Gray of Lubbock; sons, John Anthony Gray and wife, Jessica of Boyd, TX; and Edward Brian Gray and wife, Jessica of Austin, TX; grandchildren Aiden Gray, Quentin Gray, William Gray, and Cora Gray, and a sister, Ann Polster and husband Carl of St. Louis, MO.
