Anne Wray Grumiaux

November 16, 2025

With heavy hearts and deep gratitude for her life, we announce the passing of our beloved Anne Wray Grumiaux, who went home to be with the Lord on November 16, 2025, at the age of 92.

Anne was a devoted and loving wife, a proud mother of three, and a steadfast follower of God whose faith shaped her life and the lives of those around her. She lived with kindness, grace, and a gentle strength that inspired everyone she knew. To her family, she was a constant source of encouragement, support, and unconditional love.

Strong and independent throughout all of her 92 years, Anne embraced life with a warm heart and a resilient spirit. Some of her greatest joys were found in time spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whom she cherished deeply.

Her legacy lives on in the love she poured into her family, the compassion she extended to others, and the unwavering faith she carried throughout her life. Though she will be deeply missed, we find comfort in knowing she is now at peace and reunited with loved ones who have gone before her.

A celebration of Anne’s life will be held in the new year of 2026, where family and friends will gather to honor her memory, share stories, and reflect on the beautiful impact she made on all who knew her. Details will be shared with loved ones as plans are finalized.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that those wishing to give back consider making a donation to the Corolla Wild Horse Fund, a cause close to their hearts and a meaningful way to honor Anne’s memory. Please leave a message of comfort at gallopfuneralservices.com. Gallop Funeral Services, Inc was entrusted with arrangements.
