Ethel Mae Graham

Ethel was born in Princeton Missouri to Don and Nola Austin on July 5th, 1926.

She enjoyed spending time with family, traveling, and camping. Ethel, and her husband Lewie, attended Christian Life Center Church for 35 years and made many friendships with their church family.

When at home, she enjoyed her quiet time putting puzzles together, and was often referred to as the “puzzle champ.”

Ethel retired from Snokist Warehouse after 40 years of employment. After retirement she became “grandma” to many children by starting her own daycare. She loved and adored all of the children as they were her own.

Ethel is survived by her husband Lewie Graham of 37 years, daughter Carmen Kay Ellison (Willie), son Dale McReynolds (Brenda), sister Margaret Balyard (Andy), numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren along with many life-long friends.

Ethel was preceded in death by Don and Nola (parents), Fay Moss (sister), Clay Austin (brother), Allen McReynolds (son), and Connie Graham (daughter).

Ethel Mae will be missed greatly by all. She was loved by many and touched the hearts of all who crossed her path.
