Nancy Carol Gray was born on December 25, 1933, in Milwaukee, WI. She moved to Arlington in 1970, and resided there for 25 years before moving to Marysville, and then to Tacoma to live with her daughter.

She passed away on March 17, 2009. She leaves behind her sister and brother-in-law Maureen and Guy Mullins of Naselle, WA, and three children Jeff Beale of Longmont, CO; Lynda Buchanan of Tacoma, WA; and Ann Larson of Marysville, WA, along with her sons-in-law Randy Buchanan and John Larson. Her sister Terry Huberty and grandchildren Timmy and Kellie predecease her.

Nancy loved spending time with her grandchildren Virginia, Adam, Jaime, Amy, Devan, Corey, Nicholas, Amber and Crystal.

She fought a hard battle and proved she is tougher than anyone would have thought, all the while saying, “I’m fine.”
