BARBARA GRAY Obituary
Barbara Ann Cowan Gray (Age 71)
On Saturday, August 7, 2021, beloved wife and steadfast companion of Phillip LaClaire Gray. "So it is plain that in her greeting resided all my joy..." Mother of the late Nathan LaClaire Gray, Alexander Robert Gray, and Arell Marsteller Gray (Alexis). Loving grandmother of Benjamin Alexander Gray and Liza Jane Gray. A devoted daughter and mother, a faithful and forgiving friend, Barbara brought cheerfulness and optimism to everyone in her orbit. Our loss is simply unfathomable, yet we know that her spirit and remembrance will guide and buoy us always. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Lymphoma Research Foundation (lymphoma.org) in memory of Barbara. A gathering to celebrate her life will be announced at a later date.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Phil, Alex, Arell, and family- We were so saddened to hear the news about Barbara. It's been a long time since we were neighbors on Sharon Chapel Road, but we continued to feel close to you because of your wonderful family, and because of Barbara's friendliness, warmth, grace, and neighborly ways. She was a very special person who was talented, beautiful, and always ready to be helpful. She will be missed by many. Love to you-
