Arlene Courtney Gray, 69, passed away on October 30th, 2016. She is survived by her daughter Teddi (Jon Tennent) Hibberd and her sister Shirley Gray (Lonnie G.) Jones. She is preceded in death by her parents Marshall and Virginia (Macklin) Gray. 

Born in Memphis, TN, and a graduate of Valley High School (class of 1965) in Louisville, KY, Arlene obtained her bachelor’s degree at the University of Louisville followed by her Juris Doctorate at Nova Law School in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. She was a cancer survivor and a proud equine ambassador.

Arlene’s passion in life was for Tennessee Walking horses. She was the owner of Knob Creek Stud, where she stood five stallions. Not only was she known as a breeder, but she also raised and showed her stock and their progeny across the state. In her youth, she raced motorcycles professionally, managed a parts and service department for Sam Swope in Louisville, KY, and trained as an airplane pilot. Her adventurous spirit, determination, and natural ability to achieve goals also made her an accomplished attorney.
