Margaret Ann Grey

A native New Orleanian, Margaret was the daughter of Ralph H. Butler Sr. and Margaret Fasulla Butler of New Orleans. She attended Fortier High School and was a devoted daughter, sister, aunt, wife, sister-in-law, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend.

Once her children entered high school, she went to work for Ralph

& Kacoo’s management for nearly 2 decades until her battle with

cancer forced her into early retirement. Margaret, who was lovingly

known as “Jellybean” to those closest to her, was known for her love of

life and cherished time spent with her family and friends traveling. She

especially enjoyed taking tropical cruises, casino trips and excursions to

the family fishing camp, “Frick and Frack” in Little Woods, La.

Preceding her in death is her husband, Joseph G. Grey Sr., her

Parents, and her two brothers, John J. Butler and Ralph H. Butler Jr.

She is survived by three children, Michele Kidd Sutton (Wayne Richard

Sutton), Raymond Lee Kidd III (Lisa Holmes Kidd) and Joseph Gerard

Grey Jr.; four grandchildren, Ryan Logan Kidd, Morgan Elizabeth

Kidd, Reid Richard Sutton and Brook Edward Sutton; and three great-

grandchildren, Hannah Marie Sutton, Megan Elizabeth Sutton and

Chloe Brook Sutton; a loving sister, Jackie Butler Wilcox; and

many nieces and nephews.

She was a devout Christian and will be missed by all who knew and

loved her.

Margaret’s family wishes to thank the loving and compassionate staff

of North Oaks Hospice, the physicians and staff of North Oaks Medical

Center and the caregivers of Live Oak Village.
