After retiring in 1987, Mrs. Gray continued to contribute to her community by volunteering countless hours and fundraising for a wide assortment of organizations. In 2003, Mrs. Gray's accomplishments were recognized when she was crowned St. Petersburg's Queen of Hearts. Mrs. Gray's husband died in 1998.
