Nancy Yeager Gray, age 79, of Lawrenceville, Georgia, died of Alzheimer's on October 23, 2022. Nancy was born in Miami, Florida, on September 9, 1943, to Charles Gordon Yeager and Sara Landrum Yeager. While a student at Florida State University, she met James Russell Gray of Marianna. They were married April 24, 1965, in Miami and eventually made their home near Fort Worth, Texas. After retirement she and Russell moved to the Atlanta area to be near family. She believed in the power of prayer and practiced bringing her worries to Jesus. This was especially challenging in the early days of her Alzheimer's diagnosis, but Jesus carried her gracefully, preserving the light in her eyes to the very end. Russell remained a devoted caregiver, supporting her every step of the way. Nancy was preceded in death by her parents, Gordon and Sara Yeager, and her sister, Patricia Hart. She is survived by her husband of 57 years, Russell Gray; two daughters; seven grandchildren; one great-granddaughter; and many other extended family members who were touched by her gracious spirit.
