WANDA S. GRAY, 85, of North Little Rock, went to be with her Lord and Savior on February 10, 2016. She was born on August 13, 1930 in Moscow, Arkansas (Jefferson County) to Hubert Edwin and Emma Jean Slaten. She is preceded in death by her parents; her loving husband of 54 years, Dalton Leroy "Leroy" Gray; sisters, Ann Moll, and Zena Cramer; and brother, Hubert Slaten, Jr. She is survived by daughter, Jean Ann Gray, of Sherwood; sons, Dalton Leroy "Lee" Gray II, M.D., of Farmington, and Michael (Donna) Gray, of Greenbrier; and four grandchildren, James Dalton "J.D." Gray of Conway, Dalton Leroy Gray III, Ella Gray, and Adi Gray, of Centerton. Wanda was a faithful member of Amboy United Methodist Church for more than 50 years and was still "hanging banners for Jesus" up to her time to go home. Wanda received a Bachelor of Science degree in Home Economics from the University of Central Arkansas and began work at the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension in Hazen, where she would meet and marry her husband Leroy. She was an accomplished homemaker and professional seamstress, having judged sewing entries at the Arkansas Sew With Cotton for many years. She loved her family deeply and was affectionately "MoMo" to her grandchildren who were her pride and joy. The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to Gentiva Hospice and Greenbrier Nursing and Rehab for their exceptional care and compassion. A time of visitation will be held on Saturday, February 13, 2016, at 1 p.m., and a memorial service at 2 p.m., at Amboy United Methodist Church in North Little Rock. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to Amboy United Methodist Church, 311 Military Drive, North Little Rock, Ark. 72118; Amboy Community Food Pantry, 100 Auburn Drive, North Little Rock, Ark. 72118; or Central Baptist College Mustang Baseball, 1501 College, Conway, Ark. 72034.
