Mary Bray

Age - 82

December 4, 2023

Mary Lenora Hall Bray was what some brave souls would call tiny by fierce; never letting her height of 4'11 detract from her big personality. Mary first was a daughter who deeply loved her parents June and Othor Hall, spending as much time with them as possible. She married at age 17 to Frank Bray; their marriage endured for 64 years. Frank and Mary had four children together: Valerie, Jeffery, Brian, and Karen. From those four children came nine grandchildren, ten great grandchildren, and two great great grandchildren. After raising her children to adulthood, she then entered the restaurant industry and often outworked her younger peers. Much to their shame as Mary was not one to let her opinion of your work ethic go unvoiced. Mary also had a take no bull attitude when it came to customer service. But it was also said by a former coworker and manager, "I never had a better employee than Mary, she was hard working and always on time. She often beat me to work and would be standing by the door saying you're late again. " Mary's children and grandchildren all agree that she had a mischievous sense of humor which she expressed in the best grin. For her grandchildren she was synonymous with the holidays with many of their Christmas's and Fourth of July's spent at her house. She was a demon on four wheels when she drove, managing this by sitting all the way up on the steering wheel, sitting on pillows, and using the tips of her toes to hit the gas and brake . On one notable occasion she was pulled over because the officer thought a child was driving the car. This remembrance is to paint a picture of a strong willed, funny, and deeply loved woman. She was our beloved Wife, Sister, Mom, Maw-Maw Lenore, Aunt Mary, and coworker; she will be greatly missed by so many. She has requested that there be no services.

November 29, 2023

NARROWS - At age 92, Nancy Dyer Morgan peacefully went home to her heavenly Father on the evening of November 27, 2023. She was surrounded by her loving family during her final moments. Nancy had a joy for life and a generous heart. She greeted everyone with a smile, had a playful sense of humor, and was always ready for a hug. Born on July 30, 1931, in Tennessee, Nancy moved to Virginia when she was a young girl. She spent most of her life in Narrows where she was widely respected and adored. As a teen she worked at Dutton's Drug Store. She was a 1950 graduate of Narrows High School and though it wasn't common for women to go to college at that time, Nancy attended and graduated from Richmond Professional Institute (now VCU). She later received a Master of Education from Radford University. Nancy was a school teacher for 34 years. She was the Head Teacher at Penvir and then taught at Narrows Elementary. She loved teaching so much that she gave up retirement to teach part-time and substitute for several more years. Generations of families have stories from being in Mrs. Morgan's classroom. Nancy's faith guided her throughout her life. She was an active member of First Baptist Church of Narrows where over the years she had been a Sunday School teacher, Youth Director, Sun Beam Leader, active in the Ladies' Fellowship, and served on various committees. The people of First Baptist Church were an extension of Nancy's family. She constantly prayed for them, celebrated weddings and births with them, and comforted them in challenging times. At home, Nancy was a devoted matriarch who cherished her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She filled their home with happiness, love, and laughter. When she wasn't doting over her family, Nancy was usually on the phone with her friends who were all so special to her. Nancy is preceded in death by her parents Elbert and Frances Dyer; her sister Patricia (Rudy) Young; her son Chris Morgan, her grandson Jarrett Lane, and countless friends. Nancy will be deeply missed by her daughter Tracey Lane; son Lloyd Morgan; granddaughters Alicia Lane and Fawntane (Roger) Shepherd; great-grandchildren Landon, Kennedy, Kaydance, and Addison Shepherd, and her loving nieces and nephews.
