Priscilla Jane Gregory
1918 - 2007
 
Priscilla Jane Gregory, 89, passed away June 26, 2007, in Eugene, Oregon, of cancer.   She was born April 13, 1918, to parents Mary (Weaver) and Grant Carl Gray, in Chicago Illinois.   Jane married Glenn Gregory on August 30, 1940, in San Francisco, California.

She held sacred the creation of a nurturing home for her husband of 65 years, Glenn, and her daughter Sylvia.   She excelled in forgiveness, compassion and sensitivity to the feelings and needs of others.  She put these qualities to work in more than 20 years of service as a Hospice volunteer and 15 years as a volunteer at Sacred Heart Hospital's Intensive Care Unit.    She also supported her daughter's work with the poor in El Salvador and with local women struggling with poverty and homelessness.   In this work, she gave countless hours and years of service in making possible economic development work with the women of Teosinte, El Salvador, whose workshop she traveled to in Teosinte to visit in 1995 at age 77.  She always gave unconditional love and acceptance to all; she never met anyone she considered lesser than herself.

She is survived by her daughter, Sylvia Gregory, of Eugene.   She was preceded in death by her husband, Glenn, in 2005, and 3 brothers: Grant, Paul and Charles Gray.

A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, July 15, 2007, at First United Methodist Church, 1376 Olive St., Eugene.   Memorial contributions may be made in Jane Gregory's name to Sacred Heart Medical Center Hospice, Eugene.
