Willie "Lorraine" Gray, age 76 of Louisville, Kentucky passed away on Friday, August 18, 2023. Lorraine was born on August 20, 1946, in Louisville, KY and returned to her Heavenly Father on Friday, August 18, 2023.

Lorraine accepted Christ as her lord and savior and was baptized at an early age. She became a member of Antioch Baptist Church where she served God faithfully for many years.

Lorraine was a fun- loving spirit with a zeal for life and an unconditional love for her church family. She enjoyed spending time with family, traveling and of course Bingo!
