Margaret Blanton Gray's Obituary
Margaret Blanton Gray, 93, of Burgaw passed peacefully from her earthly life on Saturday, February 6, 2016 at Huntington Health Care of Burgaw.
She was born August 27, 1922 in Teachey, the daughter of the late John Cleveland and Sallie Quinn Blanton. She was preceded in death by her husband, Ernie Wellington Gray; son, Mervin Gray; sister, Doris Jones; brother, J. C. Blanton and a very special friend of 25 years, Marland Beck.
Margaret is survived by her daughters Carolyn Coward and Shirley Vaught (Kenneth); son Thomas W. Gray; grandchildren, Randall Jones (Jane), Ernie Jones, Monica Kennedy (Phillip), Michael Carter (Lona), Sharon Michelle Evans (Sonny), Wells Gray, Tonya Coleman, and Stephanie Keziah (Michael); eleven great grandchildren; two great great grandchildren; brother, Othal Blanton; and many extended family and friends.
She worked in labor and delivery at New Hanover Regional Medical Center for 26 years and was a "Florence Nightingale" to all she cared for.
Margaret loved her family and was the BEST mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She was a diligent worker and never spent an idle moment. Through the years she enjoyed cross-stitching, knitting, working puzzles and always doing for others. Margaret's passing leaves an empty place in our lives and in our hearts.
