The Lord called Georgiana Cecelia Gray, 74, home on June 26, 2020 at Medstar Georgetown University Hospital. Georgiana was the wife of John Gray. The two shared fifty-four wonderful years of marriage together.

Georgiana was born on November 25, 1945 at St Mary's Hospital in Leonardtown, MD to her loving parents, James Foley Holt and Helen Marie Holt (Rustin). Georgiana attended St. Joseph's Colored School and graduated from Cardinal Gibbons High School. Georgiana was a dedicated employee as a Nurse's Aide at St. Mary's Hospital and the ARC Group Home. Georgiana also worked for Mini Tech on the assembly crew and for William's Packing Goods as a Cashier and Stock Clerk. Georgiana was an avid member of St. Joseph's Catholic Church and attended Mass every Sunday. Georgiana enjoyed volunteering at the annual church dinner and was a member of The Ladies Sodality. In addition, Georgiana was an active member of the St. Joseph's Community Center.
