The Lord called Nancy home on Friday, January 5, 2024 at Crestwood Assisted Living at the age of 84. Nancy was born in Saginaw, Michigan on February 28, 1939. She married Ronald Graham on August 12, 1967 and they had 56 wonderful years together.
Nancy was a stay at home mom/wife who loved nothing more than taking care of her family and others, and she did it very well! She volunteered at her girls' schools, His Place Ministries and many others. She enjoyed going to all of her grandchildrens' activities and would cheer loudly, even when she didn’t understand what was happening on the court or field. She was a very nurturing, loving person and always wanted to help others. Nancy loved camping, shopping, reading, and most of all spending time with her family.
Nancy is survived by her daughters, Julie (Matt) Brown of Saint Louis, MI and Debbie (Rhett) Schmiedel of Anderson IN.
