Polly and Earl Ray
married in 1946 and lived and worked in the
Galveston/Texas City area. She worked at NASA as
a librarian of the moon rocks and then in her
later life as a real estate broker. They moved
to New Braunfels in 1999 to be closer to their
daughter and grandchildren. She quickly became
active in the community with the Church of
Christ, the Eastern Star and playing in
duplicate bridge clubs. Polly was an avid
basketball fan and rarely missed a Spurs game.
In her early life, she enjoyed playing
basketball and would often remind us of her
girls' County Championship title. She was known
by her friends as spirited, stubborn, and highly
competitive and by her family as generous and
supportive. |

We on Earth are
sad, but as Polly would say, "This too shall
pass" and we know that Heaven is rejoicing at
her arrival. There will be a private family
burial. In lieu of flowers the family asks for
donations to the Shriners Hospitals for
Children. |
