Barbara Raye Gray passed away peacefully on Wednesday, August 11, 2022. She was born on October 4, 1934, in Gladewater, TX, raised by her parents, Alva Gray and Hazel Jenkins Gray. As Barbara began her fulfilling life, she decided to help others by becoming a registered nurse. Years later, she chose to expand her horizons by becoming a stewardess for American Airlines. Barbara loved to shop while visiting all the beautiful destinations she was staying at. However, while home, she showed her love most to her little dog Pepe`, whom she cherished and Barbara would have fun with her fellow spirited ladies in the Red Hat Society. Throughout her life she enjoyed being a member of First Baptist Church of Dallas for nearly 70 years.
Barbara was preceded in death by her parents, Alva and Hazel Gray; and one loving great-nephew, Colton Burgett.
