Obituary: Sharon L. (Burke) Gray

Sharon Lee (Burke) Gray, born on August 14, 1959, passed away on October 29, 2024, with her family by her side. Sharon was known for her humor, generous heart, and incredible kindness. She loved trips to Foxwoods, nights around the backyard fire, and watching movies and reading romance novels.

Originally from Fryeburg, Maine, Sharon spent most of her life in the Mount Washington Valley. She dedicated much of her working life to New Hampshire’s restaurant industry, where she held various roles — from waitress to manager, eventually founding her own restaurant, Sharon’s Seafood, in the mid-2000s. In her later years, she made frequent trips to Kennebunkport, Maine, to enjoy the beach cottage of her late husband, Jay R. Gray Jr.
