The longtime director of the Ronald McDonald House Mid-Missouri in Columbia will retire at the end of the 2026 calendar year.
Terri Gray announced her retirement on Monday, and a search for her replacement is underway.
Ms. Gray says this has been a labor of love for her. She helped raise money for Columbia’s new $6.5 million Ronald McDonald House on South College, which opened in 2024. It includes 24 private guestrooms with private baths, an increase from the former home’s 18 bedrooms.
Terry Gray says the Ronald McDonald House in Columbia is debt-free. There is no cost to families to stay there.
