Linda Dianne Hale Gray

Linda Dianne Gray’s spirit departed this earth on a beautiful Sunday, January 1, 2022, she was 69 years old. She possessed an infectious smile and an unflinching sense of positivity. Ever eager to volunteer her time and efforts, she always took great care of those around her even if it meant neglecting her own well-being. Evidence of her nurturing can be seen in the lives of all those she touched with her presence. In the darkest times she was a beacon of hope and love and will be immeasurably missed by so many who knew her. She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Orpha Hale; sister, Bessie Duncan; and brother, William Hale, Jr.
Dianne was a kind, compassionate, hard-working woman who sacrificed so much for her two sons, and all manner of family and friends in need.
