It was the orderliness and discipline she learned as a registered nurse that carried Marjorie Cox Gray far in a career that actually took her away from nursing. I really mean that.
Nursing is such a marvelous career.
That's ancient history now. Instead of continuing her nursing, Gray became involved with employee health benefits and other duties during an extensive career with the Exxon Corporation until her retirement a few years ago. When her husband Edward L. died, Gray, who had only visited the Emerald Coast, sold her stately home in Charlotte and moved to Bluewater Bay. The unpretentious Gray admits the transition was eased considerably after discovering OWCC's Arts Center where she volunteers as a docent and is a season ticket subscriber for the Broadway series and the Northwest Florida Symphony Orchestra. Gray is also an active participant in the OWCC Prime Time program.
