Obituary of Wanda Marie Gray

Wanda Gray, 77, left this earthly home on October 26. Born in Traverse City, Michigan, on September 14, 1943, she was the youngest child of Carl and Norma Cole. Though Wanda held many jobs in her life-school teacher, motel manager, Sunday School teacher, hospital custodial person, and more-her most loved jobs were those of wife and mother. Her four sons, Gary, Mickhael, Todd (all of Kalamazoo), and Troy (of Beaumont, Texas), and her husband for 55 years, Edwin, will all greatly miss her. She is also survived by brother Albert and sister Alice. She never wanted to miss a call or a visit from her children, her 13 grandchildren, and her 18 great-grandchildren. She follows in death her parents, her parents-in-law, a sister-Pat Cole, and a grandson, Gary Jr. Wanda will be remembered for her love and devotion to her family, her laughter, and her independence.
