Toni M. Grays was born October 3, 1967 in Lacey, Arkansas to Burl and Elnor Grays. She was the fourth child of a family of seven.

She gave her life to Christ at a very early age and continued her calling by doing what the lord had her to do. She was an active member of Shabach Praise Kingdom Center of Little Rock, AR, where she was a Sunday School teacher.

After several years of being a nanny and housekeeper, she went on to pursue her passion for children by becoming a preschool teacher for the past four years. Toni was very special and to know her was an honor. She devoted most of her time and energy to family, church, and ministering to others.

Toni is preceded in death by her father Burl Grays and a sister, Alline Grays.

She leaves to cherish her memory her mother, Elnor Grays of Little Rock, AR; fives sisters, Maria Grays of Jacksonville, Pamela LeGrand (James) and Genetta Thorns of Pine Bluff, Deborah Hudspeth of Flint, MI and Likeyshan Grays of Monticello; a brother, Calvin Grays of Monticello; and a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

    Toni was on of the sweetest persons I have ever met. She showed us that Christ can live through a person. She showed love for everyone and was a personal inspirition for me. To b absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

    My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. Toni was a sweet and caring person. I remember our high school days together in Wilmar, She wasnt a big talker but she had a smile that would light up the darkest room. She will be missed here but God needed her more.

    I will forever cherish the memories of my sister in Christ, Toni Grays. I remember visiting Toni's church in Warren on several occasions and she would always be full of love and smiles. It was genuine; you could feel it. Now, she must be having an awesome time in her real home. Thank you Lord for allowing me to spend a little time with your daughter, my sister. Praying for the family & friends of Toni.

    I had the honor to be a friend of Toni. She was one of the happiest people I've ever known. She was kind, loving and a true Christian example to others. Monticello was better for her presence and heaven gained a wonderful person.

    Aunt Tony Grays, was my mentor and inspiration in my life when I was a teenager. To me she is not dead because she lives in all of us. Toni departed the family, but she has gave everyone she has ever met or ran across the best gift of all JESUS. Which is way more valuable than anything material. If you ever known her she has given you a gift of knowing God and the Holy Ghost and unconditional. That's how I will always remember Aunt Toni. Love her always and forever.

    Toni was such a sweet young lady who truly believed in God. If you never had the opportunity to meet her, you missed out on a wonderful encounter. I will definitely miss her smile and her unselfishness. I thank God for allowing her to cross paths with me and so many others. God bless her family.
