Michele Graham

Michele Marie Graham passed away Saturday August 5 th under the rainbow sky. She was born June 21, 1951, to Clifford and Sherry Roe. She had two brothers, Tony Durall, Mike Flynn and one sister Rene Durall. She graduated from Memorial High School in 1969. Michele married the love of her life and best friend Randy Graham on June 6, 1969.

They had one daughter Regan Seward. The three of them spent many years camping and canoeing alongside Big Sugar and Mike’s Creek with family and friends. Michele and Randy enjoyed every day of their fifty-three years together traveling, golfing, hiking and most importantly laughing at all of my dad’s cornball jokes. They loved cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Chiefs attending many games over the years. Michele was a friend to all, and her love of animals were contagious. She enjoyed working in her yard and proudly having some of the most beautiful window box flowers twenty sixth street ever had. She retired from KMI Metals after thirty-five years where she proudly worked alongside her coworkers and the Edie family that were more like friends to her.

Michele is survived by her husband Randy Graham, daughter Regan Seward (Russ), grandchildren whom she always called “her birds” Bailey Tormey (Zach), Mace Seward (Hannah Burdick) and Cole Seward. Two great grandchildren Charlotte and Bo Tormey. She is also survived by her special friend Sharon Gray and many lifelong friends.

My dad and I would like to say a special thank you to the staff at Westgate and Gentiva Hospice for their exceptional care they provided on her last days. There will be a celebration of life at a later date.

    Our age difference as cousins kept us from becoming good friends and our adult lives went in different directions; but I loved you anyway! Rest in peace.❤️
