Obituary

Evelyn Grace Gray, 75, entered into eternal peace on Monday, August 24, 2020 at Gulf Coast Hospital in Fort Myers, Florida. She was born November 5, 1944 in Manhattan, New York to the late Harvey and Eleanor Gray.

Evelyn graduated from George Washington High School and worked in various jobs involving different professions from insurance to child support enforcement. She enjoyed helping others, going to the beach, dancing, taking trips and spending time with family and friends.

In 1964, Evelyn married Christopher Neese and had a daughter Carolyn Grace. Although they divorced, they remained life-long friends. Evelyn was a loving mom and grandmother who loved spending time with her grandchildren Kimberly and Timothy.

Evelyn is also survived by her sisters, Elberta Rubiano and Donna and her husband Billy Spero, all in New York. Evelyn has many relatives and close friends who miss her dearly.

Baldwin Brothers Crematory and Funeral Services handled the arrangements for Miss Gray. There will be a Celebration of Life Ceremony with family and friends at City First Church on September 19, 2020 at 2:00 PM.

Family and friends may sign the guest register or leave a condolence message by visiting www.baldwincremation.com.

    When I arrived in FL, naive and young, you opened up your home to me. We laughed, we worked together, you married me off & YES...you would be proud, we are still together; your love and passion for animals was endless. We have all lost a wonderful friend, mother, confidant;
    Until we meet again;

    Evelyn,
    I don't know how to say good-bye to my dear friend, who's been there for me most of my life.
    I believe you are now with the Good Lord and that you are looking down upon your friends
    and family. You will always be in my heart, "My Friend Forever"

    Evelyn:

    My dear sister and friend. I had you over my shoulder for 72 years. It's hard to imagine life with our daily calls since I lost George 11 years ago. I love you and miss you already. I'm grateful that your not suffering anymore and pray your surrounded by those who love you. I'm sorry you left so fast but know that you're in a better place and I'll see you again someday.

    Love
