Denise Graham

Denise was born on July 28, 1960, in Arlington, Virginia, to Donna Lee (Anderson) and Douglas Warren Bradshaw. She grew up in Woodbridge, Virginia, where she formed lifelong friendships and made many wonderful memories that she carried with her throughout her life. She graduated from Gar-Field High School in 1978.

Denise and her former husband, Ronald Graham, welcomed two children during their marriage, Stephanie and Ryan. Being a mother was one of her greatest joys, and she later found that same joy in being a grandmother. She was a proud grandmother to five grandchildren: Hunter and Asher Haven, and CJ, Jaxson, and Rylynn Graham. Her family was at the heart of her life, and she treasured the time she spent with them, from the simple everyday moments to the special times they shared.

Denise is survived by her mother, Donna Bradshaw; her children, Stephanie Haven and Ryan (Ashleigh) Graham; her grandchildren, Hunter, Asher, CJ, Jaxson, and Rylynn; her brother, Dale Bradshaw; and her niece, Leah Fargis.

She was preceded in death by her father, Douglas Warren Bradshaw.

Those who knew Denise will remember her not only for the years she was with us, but for the love she gave so freely and the memories she created. Her legacy lives on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know and love her, in the stories they share, and in the everyday moments that bring her to mind. Deeply cherished as a devoted mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend, her absence will be felt in ways words cannot fully express, but the love she gave will remain forever.
