Virgie Billiot Gray, 86, a lifelong resident of Morgan City, Louisiana, went home to her Heavenly Father on June 27, 2018, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Virgie was born February 11, 1932 “down the bayou in a lily patch” as she always referred when asked where she was born.

She kept stock piles of everyone’s favorite dishes in her freezer and with 15 minutes notice she would have your favorite meal hot and ready for you when you walked in the door. She loved her family and kept a large collection of photos of her loved ones.
Virgie is survived by her daughters, Pat and favorite son-in-law, August Arnould, of Greenwell Springs, Debbie Kovac of Baton Rouge, Janice Gray of Morgan City, and Robbie Gray of Prairieville. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Patrick and wife, Daphne Arnould of Prairieville, Tracy Landry of Honolulu, Hawaii, Landon Landry of Nashville, Tennessee, Jeremy Kovac of Raceland, and Morgan Lynn Gray of Prairieville; eight great-grandchildren; and siblings, Adam Billiot, Rose Dinger and Barbara Ida Crouch. She was known as Maw Maw by many others.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Matthew Gray Jr.; her son, Alton Joseph Landry; parents, Batran and Sadie Billiot; and siblings, Anita Dinger and Robert, Aubrey and Sadie Louise Billiot.
