Frances Irene Gray, a devoted mother, sister, and aunt departed in peace Sunday evening,  July 21, 2024, in Winchester, VA. We love her so much, but God loved her best and led her to an eternal home in Glory.

Frances Irene Gray was born May 13,1950 in Hillsboro, VA, to the late Charles Lincoln Gray and Virgina Morris Gray.  Many will remember Sug for her laugh, contagious smile, always showing off her pearly whites, her sense of humor and the love and support she gave to us all.

Sug attended Loudoun County Public Schools. She enjoyed bowling, attending dances organized by Circle 6, playing her Wii, using her iPad, cooking and spending time with family and friends. As you all know, she loved planning family cookouts to bring the family together. Her friendly personality made it easy for her to make friends and have conversations with anyone and, we mean anyone. She had a special commitment to her family and friends and enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren.

She worked in the health care system for many years and then worked at Martin's in Winchester VA. On the weekends, she would sell hot dogs, chips and soda to collect money for the Children's Hospital in Washington DC. Once Sug retired from this role, she started to live her life to the fullest. She began traveling and visiting her daughter and grandchildren in Florida and often expressed how much she enjoyed her quality time with them. She loved her music as she would often say "Jamie, put on some oldies but goodies."

She is survived by her son, Bruce Gray; daughter, Jamie Gray, her sisters, Mary Elizabeth and Marsha Virginia Gray; grandchildren  Alexis Gray, Justin Cale, Jullian Gray, Garret Borgos, Donovan Borgos and George Turner IV ("her little booties"). She leaves to cherish the love for her nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends. Frances was preceded in death by her father, Charles Gray; mother, Virginia Gray; sisters, , Gwendolyn Williams, Janet "Tiny" Derry, her brothers, Charles "Sonny" Gray  and Douglas "Randy"  Lincoln,her grandson Dominic Borgos  and her beloved friend, Archie Lee Burks.
