Mary GRAY Obituary

Age 77 of Mahtomedi Passed away unexpectedly December 31, 2023. She was preceded in death by her husband Steve Gray; and her sister Sandra Menge. She will be remembered for her beautiful flower gardens, her joy of bird watching - particularly cardinals, and her ability to sneakily pass treats to every dog she came across. She was a life-long care giver touching many lives during her career as a nurse, and through the way she cared for her friends and family over the years. She will be deeply missed by her daughters Shannon (Pat) Beskar and Sherry (Kurt) Bartels; grandchildren Josh (Ashley), Alex, Taylor, Shanny, Riley, Brody; great-grandchildren Levi James and Lainey Gray; sister Janet Allison; many nieces, nephews, family, friends, and of course her beloved little Yorkie Lily! Mass of Christian Burial on Wednesday, January 10, 2024 at 11:00am at St. Jude of the Lake Catholic Church, 700 Mahtomedi Ave, Mahtomedi with Visitation one hour before. A luncheon will follow directly after Mass. Family Interment at Union Cemetery. Memorials to St. Jude of the Lake.

Mary was a great nurse, a loyal colleague, and a wonderful teacher. All who worked with her will remember Mary's laughter-it made such a difference on those long shifts.

Tom, and I (Candia), close by neighbors, will remember Mary as a gentle, kind, and youthful soul. We always enjoyed bumping into her on our neighborhood walks, and it was so interesting to hear about her nursing career. She loved her doggie and her flowers. Rest in peace, Mary-blessings to your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, whom I'm sure you'll be looking out for!
