Jefferson Dennis Graham

Dr. Jeff Graham, resident of Harahan, LA, was released from the bondage of a long and valiant battle with cancer on April 6, 2011; he passed into the comfort of everlasting life promised by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. His wife, children and other family members were at his bedside to comfort him as he drew his last breath. He also enjoyed the support of many prayers from his community and patients. Jeff is survived by his loving and devoted wife Lorie, and his children, Johnathan, Ian, Mary, Annie, Maggie, Molly, and Jack, and his sisters Martha Graham-Viator (Tim) and Rebecca Graham Nichols (Gary), also sister-in-law Gail Comboy and brothers-in-law, Brian Comboy, Shawn Comboy, Kevin Comboy (Debi), Mickey Comboy (Sonia) and Gerald Comboy (Lori) and sisters-in-law Maria Zabaloui and Belinda Hewlet. He is also survived by a host of nieces and nephews, dear friends and his much cared for patients. He is preceded in death by his parents Lois Meincke-Graham and Fletcher Philip Graham and by sister-in-law Frances Peret Comboy. Jeff practiced dentistry since 1981 and did so with the utmost care for his patients and passion for his profession. He touched the lives of many and will forever be remembered for his love, generosity and compassion. In lieu of flowers, his family would appreciate donations to Catholic Charismatic Renewal of New Orleans, St. Rita Parish (Harahan), or Guardian Angel Hospice.

Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the Funeral Mass at St. Rita Harahan, 7100 Jefferson Hwy., on Saturday, April 9, 2011 at 11:00 am. Visitation from 9:00 am until time of service. Condolences may be offered at www.leitzeaganfuneralhome.com.
