Judith A. Gray

HUNTINGTOWN, Md. — Judith Ann Gray, age 70, of Huntingtown, Md., passed away on Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2012, at her home.

She was born July 10, 1941, in Jefferson, Ohio, to the late Robert Lomas and Janet Smith Lomas. Judith graduated from Kent State University with a major in Voice and a minor in History. She was member of the Delta Omicron Sorority.

She was the head of the Special Security Office at the Naval Research Lab in Washington, D.C. and taught school for three years at Tawney Jr. High in Camp Springs, Md. She was a member of the Showboater Theater Group at the Naval Research Lab, and President and "Information Lady" in the Cult Awareness Organization for The Roberts Group Parents' Network, nfishel.tripod.com.

Judith was also the President of Presbyterian Mariners Group for the Washington District, member of the Presbyterian Women's Circle and an Elder in the Presbyterian Church.

The Gray's moved to Calvert County in 1987 from District Heights and a couple of weeks after their move they joined Trinity United Methodist Church in Prince Frederick, where Judith went on to direct the Gospel Choir and sing solos for various church affairs and services.

She loved her grandchildren and spending time with them, and enjoyed needlework and crocheting. In later years, one of her favorite pastimes was to watch and shop on QVC and HSN, where she bought most of her Christmas presents this past year.

Judith is survived by her husband, Robert Allen Gray of Huntingtown, Md.; her sons, Robert Gray III and his wife, Suzanne of Huntingtown, Md. and Richard Gray and his wife, Candice of Seattle Wash.; and her grandchildren, Jami, Timothy and Mia Gray. She is also survived by her mother, Janet Lomas of Jefferson, Ohio; and siblings, Robert Lomas and his wife, Barbara of Vancouver, Wash. and Rosemary Bebout of Stuart, Fla.
