Obituary

Karren Deneen McCray was born April 14, 1965, in Manning South Carolina, to the late MinnieLee Geneva Butler McCray and the late James McCray Sr. She departed this life peacefully Tuesday, November 11, 2025, at the Anchorage Nursing Home in Salisbury Maryland.

Karren received her education from a school in Salisbury Md. She loved her mother dearly and her family was also her pride and joy. She lived life to the fullest and on her terms; and when it was time to say goodbye, she would always say "to-da-Lou."

She was proceeded in death by her son Prince Collins, her mother MinnieLee Geneva Butler McCray, father James McCray Sr, brothers James McCray Jr, Glen Russell McCray, and Aaron McCray. We will all miss her.

She is survived by her lifelong partner Eric Roberts, a son Rideshell Earl Lane, one sister Sharon McCray, from Salisbury, MD; several nieces Sakea, Dana, Caprice, Pauline, Danelle, Amber, a special cousin Betty Ann Bellinger; and a host of uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family, and friends.

"The Lord is near to all who call on Him, and to all who call on Him in truth." – Psalm 145:18
