It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Michelle Gray, 62, of Findlay, on Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2024, after a long illness. Michelle was staying at The Heritage under the care of Hospice of Northwest Ohio.
Michelle was born in Oakhill, West Virginia. She graduated high school in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and Business School in Long Island, New York.

She is survived by her mother, J. LaVerne (Johnson) Atkinson; stepfather, Santo L. Atkinson; daughter, Amethyst Gray; granddaughter, Calliope Gray; brother, Jerrid Atkinson; sister, Sameda Atkinson; uncles, Rudolph (Vera) Johnson and Richard (Samara) Johnson; and many other relatives and family friends.

Michelle enjoyed traveling and doing crafts. She always had a kind word and wonderful smile for anyone she would meet or call a friend.
The family will be conducting a celebration of life for Michelle in Murfreesboro, Tennessee in the very near future. The location, time, and date will be forthcoming soon.

When I always went to the nursing home to visit Linda Miss amore. Michelle set at the lunch table with Linda and I would come in to visit. And when I would go to leave I would kiss Michelle on the forehead and say I love you and she would say I love you back so that's the memory of me for her something hugs prayers and hugs to the family
