Myrna Rae Graff

Myrna (McNeill) Graff passed away on October 21, 2026. She was 75. She was born in Kewanee, IL, the youngest daughter of R. Arden and Madge (Kipp) McNeill who raised her there along with her sister, Marsha, in a loving home and family. in 1973 Myrna married Steven Graff. They lived their 53 years together in Colorado, primarily in Colorado Springs where they built a home and raised their 2 sons, Kip (wife Doneker) Graff and Tyson (wife Amanda) Graff who survive her. She is survived as well by her husband Steve, her grandsons Greyson and Preston (children of Tyson and Amanda), her sister Marsha (husband Harv) Schaub of Waupun, Wisconsin and her sister's family. She greatly loved and cherished each one.

Myrna received her B.S. degree in Speech & Hearing Science from the University of Illinois and subsequent M.S. degree in Hearing Science from CSU in Fort Collins. She worked as an Audiologist in Denver as well as at The Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind in Colorado Springs. Her work with those children and staff was extremely gratifying, but she was most proud of and completely content with being Mom to 2 loving sons, Nana to her 2 precious grandsons, a devoted kitty mom to a quartet of beloved cats over the years, a daughter, sister, wife, aunt, friend, neighbor and most importantly a Follower of Christ who so graciously placed beloved, quality people along her path. She enjoyed spending time with her family, friends, and neighbors, needlework, puzzling, preparing yearly photo books for her grandsons, interior design and Bible studies. She always felt God had richly blessed her life and those within it.

She requested that remembrances of her be those kept close to the heart and in gifts of prayer, kindness, love and support of her surviving family and one another. John 3:16.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held at a later date.
