In Memory of Fran Gregory

Fran Gregory was a member of the HVGC since 2010 and served as the club's president from 2013 - 2014 and Chaplin for terms.  Fran was always quick with a smile or a wry piece of witticism and was a master editor for all our HVGC needs.
She was a Master Gardener, a Red Hat Lady, The Luray Supper Club and a Luray Garden Club member and very active socially with her friends in Luray and Washington, DC.

Fran loved her cat, her favorite old movies, and being a member of the Rileyville Baptist Church.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Rileyville Baptist Church in Rileyville, on August 17h at 11 am.   All family and friends are welcomed.  In lieu of flowers, donations are preferred to be made to the Walt Whitman Foundation or the American Cancer Society.
