Shirley Jean Gray, 84, passed away peacefully at home on February 16, 2022. Shirley was born in Akron, Ohio, the daughter of the late Frank and Wyona Plant.

Shirley had a delightful laugh, and enjoyed vacationing with family, bingo with friends, sewing, quilting, crafting and gardening as well as many memorable family get-togethers. She particularly enjoyed lavishing attention on her grandchildren and playing video and computer games with them.
