Alfreda Maxine Gray

Our Beloved, Alfreda Maxine Gray, was born November 8, 1955 in Birmingham, Alabama to the late Mrs. Bertha Lee Williams DeRamus and Alfred DeRamus. A graduate of Jess Lanier High School in Bessemer, Alabama. She later studied at the University of Alabama in the city of Tuscaloosa where she met her future husband Gary, a sophomore. They were married on July 31, 1977. Once they relocated to Ypsilanti, Michigan she enrolled in Eastern Michigan University to finish her degree in nursing. As a nurse, she was very positive and responsible, oftentimes attending unit staff meetings even after working the midnight shift. Her co-workers and friends note her kind and caring spirit along with being a dependable team player. As a very important member of the Gray family, she would arrange routes and hotels for family trips, and provide emotional support during all endeavors. At home she gardened, nursing impatients, coleus, petunias, begonias, garden mums and roses. During family dinners, she would lead in prayer with Matthew 5:3: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven". Early 2020, her health weakened. Our beloved went to be with the Lord on Monday morning, June 29, 2020 in the care of her husband. She will be remembered by her husband, Gary Gray; her Gary Gray, II and Zenovia Ovata Gray; her siblings, Frozean Willingham, Franchetta Hunter, Andrea Jackson, Alfred DeRamus Jr., Erskind DeRamus, Walter DeRamus, William DeRamus, Cecila Speigner, and Schellicia Porterfield; nieces, nephews, cousins and the rest of her extended family.
