Virginia Early Graham

Virginia "Polly" E. Graham, 93, of Knoxville, Tennessee, peacefully went to be with Jesus on Wednesday, November 5th, 2025. A member of Valley Grove Baptist Church, Polly lived a life marked by faith, family, and service to her community.

Together with her beloved husband Tommy, Polly owned and operated Graham's Studio for 35 wonderful years. Their studio specialized in school photography throughout East Tennessee, where they captured countless precious memories for families across the region. Through their work, they touched the lives of generations of students and became a cherished part of the community they served.

Polly was welcomed into heaven by her loving husband, Thomas Lee Graham Sr.; her dear parents, Marvin and Willie Maude Early; her cherished sisters, Kathleen Smith and Jean Beckman; her brother, Jack Early; and her son, Thomas Lee Graham Jr.

Her legacy of love continues through her devoted daughter, Ginny Shubert and her husband Ray; her son, Tim Graham (Stephanie); her cherished grandchildren, Jason Graham (Bethany), Lori Rutter, Erin Shubert (Dave), and Rob Graham (Allison); and seven precious great-grandchildren who brought such joy to her life.
