She was the daughter of Jerome Davis Wright and Annie Ellen Stockdale. She 1st married Ashby Rogers. She 2nd married James Matthew Gray. She worked at Joyce Shoe Factory and Meyers & Son and was a member of Madison First Church of the Nazarene.

Mamaw made the best banana pudding, jam cake and sweet potatoes. I loved going to her house after church on Sunday. She would make fried chicken and I would sit at the bar and roll the lemons for lemonade. She moved to the house on Walnut Street sometime in the 1960's. It was a block from the river and we would sit in the yard during the summer and watch the boats while we helped her snap beans. She had a garden in the back of the house. I remember green beans, tomatoes, rhubarb and sunflowers. She grew the rhubarb for my dad so she could make his favorite pie. She was always sewing and making quilts. She made one for me using material from our old dresses. She enjoyed reading her Bible, listening to the radio, travelling and making scrapbooks. As a kid, I remember she would go to the county jail and witness to the prisoners. She wanted everyone to know that God loved them. She lived with us for many years and I would sit at her kitchen table and do my homework. I always made sure my room was next to her part of the house. She went on many family outings with us to the zoo and the park. She would always try to give Dad directions and we would end up getting lost. We would eventually arrive at our destination. I still chuckle when I think about those trips.
