Dorothy D. "Tim" (Temin) Grayson, 83

LINDEN, Tenn. - Dorothy D. "Tim" (Temin) Grayson of Linden died Wednesday, Nov. 1, 2006, in Murfreesboro at the Tennessee State Veterans Home following a long illness. She was 83.

Mrs. Grayson was born Dec. 6, 1923, in Milford, daughter of the late Jerry and Henrietta M. Temin.

She was a graduate of Milford High School and a graduate of Lenox Hill Hospital School of Nursing in New York City.

Upon graduation she served with the U.S. Army Nursing Corps from Jan. 1, 1945, until honorably discharged in April 1946. She served in the European Theatre of World War II as well as in the United States.

She was an ambitious, energetic and enthusiastic person interested in everyone and everything.

She and her husband, Colonel Benton C. Grayson, were Master Bridge players. During the Korean War, she joined him in Taiwan and Morocco and traveled extensively in Africa. She became a gourmet cook through her many travels. After the war, they built Singing Hills Farm in Linden. They both loved nature and all animals. Together they raised, trained, bred, showed and sold Tennessee Walking Horses and Great Danes. She loved to adopt any stray animal that came to their property.

Entertaining friends played a large role in her life. She will be missed greatly by her many friends and family who have fond memories.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Col. Benton C. Grayson in December 1999; and a sister, Margie Ann Hawkins in 1976.

She is survived by a nephew, Victor Hawkins Jr.; a sister, Geraldine T. Wilkerson of New Castle; two nieces, Temin A. Carroll and Ann R. Dougherty; three great nieces, Megan Carroll, Rinear Dougherty and Antonia Rae Dougherty; and a great nephew, Steven Carroll; and a sister-in-law, Mary E. Marsh of Claremont, Fla.

Services will be 7 p.m. Nov. 17, in New Castle United Methodist Church, 510 Delaware St., New Castle.

Instead of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to Alzheimer"s Foundation of America, 322 Eighth Avenue, 6th floor, New York, NY 10001; or American Institute for Cancer Research, P.O. Box 91493, Washington, D.C. 20090-1493.
