Elizabeth “Ann” Gravley, 56, passed away peacefully on Nov. 7, 2021, at Roanoke Memorial Hospital with her daughter, Tracie Smith, and her significant other, William “Bill” Brown, by her side. She was born in Wytheville to the late Mary Elizabeth Gravley and David Edward Gravley, Sr.
Ann was disabled due to health complications for a large portion of her life. The trials and tribulations that came along with that never stopped her from fulfilling her duties as a full-time mother. She single-handedly raised her daughters and was so proud of the women they became. Ann also held her three grandchildren very near and dear to her heart. She found joy in the little things and the time she spent with them. Ann was especially proud of their successes in school and their extracurricular activities. She took such pride in her family and friends and always kept them close to her heart. Ann was a person who wore her heart on her sleeve; she loved hard and forgave easily.
Ann was preceded in death by her parents, Mary and David Gravley, and her brother, David Edward “Eddie” Gravley, Jr.
She is survived by her daughters, Heather Amanda Gravley and Tracie Leigh Smith; three grandchildren, Aiden Lee Altizer, Korree Ann Mozelle Alley, and Ella Faye Smith; a brother, Donnie Raye Gravley; and nephews Justin Raye Gravley and Rusty Shayne Gravley.
A celebration of life gathering will be held in the spring of 2022.
The Gravley family is in the care of Mullins Funeral Home & Crematory in Radford. www.mullinsfuneralhome.com.
