Alice Gray
Alice Gray, of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, passed on March 28, 2020. She was born on September 15, 1939 to her parents, Earl & Alice Marquardt. She was 80 years of age. Alice had a passion for family, whether that meant camping and waterskiing with Al and her two sons or organizing holidays with her loved ones where she gathered supplies for the homeless and made family members dress up to reenact the Nativity story. Alice’s love for the Lord prompted her to serve throughout her life as a caring mentor and advocate for Christian and women’s causes. Alice had served as a leader in women’s ministries for more than thirty years and has held the role of advisor and teacher for a number of Bible study groups. She was also a supervisor for three offices at the Prolife Pregnancy Care Centers in Portland, Oregon before moving to central Oregon. These experiences led her to her true calling, authoring and editing numerous Christian books. Alice was an inspirational conference speaker and creator/compiler of the bestselling, award winning “Stories for the Heart” book series and has over thirty-five books to her credit with over 5 million in print. Alice was a guest on a variety of Christian Radio and television shows in the US and Canada. Alice had a great smile and an endearing laugh; her spark for life shown through in impromptu dance sessions with her husband in the kitchen and her love for playing practical jokes on April Fool’s Day. She is preceded in death by her parents, Earl and Alice Marquardt and her sister Marianne Moudkis. Alice is survived by her husband of 53 years, Al; sons, Robert and James Gray; sister, Nola Bertelson; two grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. Our family wishes to thank Hospice of Havasu for the care and love they all showed to Alice. We especially appreciate the help of Michelle and Ryan. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Alice’s name to Hospice of Havasu. No memorial service will be held at this time. Services were entrusted to the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home. Thoughts and condolences can be made to the Gray family at www.lietz-frazefuneralhome.com.Obituary
