Jean Mary Graham

Jean Mary Graham (age 57) passed away peacefully on November 22, 2025, after a three-year battle with cancer. Jean was a loving daughter, wonderful sister, loyal friend, generous and kind soul, and courageous fighter to the end. She loved travel, adored her many friends, was a faithful alum of Boston College, was a gifted writer and marketer, loved K-dramas, her cat, a good book, and a cocktail on the deck by the ocean.

Jean was raised in Duxbury, was a long-time resident of Woburn, and had a lifelong attachment to Minot Beach in Scituate. She graduated from Duxbury High School in 1986 and from Boston College with a BA with honors in Communications in 1990. She thoroughly loved her time at BC, where she served as Editor-in-Chief of "The Heights" and received the Young Alumni Achievement Award in 1997. She created a thriving career in her chosen field of communications and marketing, primarily in the Heath Care field, culminating in positions as the Manager of Marketing and Communications for Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians for Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, from 2023 to her death, and Marketing and Media Relations Manager at Care Dimensions (formerly North Shore Medical Center), from 2006 to 2022. She was active in many volunteer roles, including with Woburn Public Media, BC Alumni Assoc., Greater Boston Food Bank, and Christmas in April. She received awards from the New England Society of Healthcare Communications in 2020 and 2021, and Woburn Public Media for 20 years of service in 2025.

While Jean was extremely skilled at her profession, it was her devotion to her family and friends that truly defined her. She leaves behind her parents, Susan M. Graham and William R. Graham, her brother William R. Graham, Jr., her sister-in-law, Megan Mahoney, her nephew, Ryland Graham, her niece, Bailey Graham, her aunt Diane Sheehan, and her beloved cousins, Jill Laboissiere, Carl Hamalainen, Michael Sheehan, Patricia Brown, Kenneth Sheehan and Megan Summers (and their families).
