Mary Ann Graham

Mary Ann was born on February 27, 1936, the only child of Roy and Mary McHugh, in Roebuck, South Carolina. Upon graduating from high school, Mary Ann attended and completed nursing training at Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

During a spring break to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Mary Ann met Dana Graham. They both said it was love at first sight. Dana and Mary Ann married in 1959 and relocated to Clemson, South Carolina for Dana to finish his chemical engineering degree. Dana's career eventually led them to Tallahassee in 1970 and they remained there until their deaths. They were married 64 years.

Mary Ann was an accomplished craftsperson and artist and received great joy in being creative and sharing her gifts with others. She was of the Christian faith and was a member of the First Baptist Church, Tallahassee.

Mary Ann is survived by her two sons, Jeff Graham (Tammy) and Craig Graham (Gina); four grandchildren, Weston Graham (Katie), Rachel Ramos (Mark), Payton Graham and Holton Graham (Mary Katherine); and two great grandchildren, Hudson and Owen Graham, all of Tallahassee.
