GRAHAM, Barbara (nee Kettenbach)

It is with broken hearts we announce the passing of Barbara Graham, on Tuesday, July 4, 2023 at the age of 82 years. Loving wife of the late R. Michael Graham (2022) for 49 wonderful years. Adored mother of Meredith Desmarais and husband Jason and Melissa Graham and husband Frank Cemalovic. She will be greatly missed by her one and only grandchild, light of her life, Sawyer Desmarais. Sister of Theresa Cope and Elizabeth (late Larry) Dutka. Also remembered by her Sister-in-law Joyce (Murray) Trimble and the late Loanne (late George) Allen. She is survived by several nieces and nephews who she loved so dearly. Predeceased by her parents Heinrick and Theresa Kettenbach.
Mom taught us to never give up on our dreams, she taught us the true meaning of family, and how to love deeply.
Her quick whit and giving heart were one of a kind. We have learned to persevere through many tough times, because of you and your strength and your love for life. Our family will be as strong as we can be, knowing one day we will see you and dad again. We will honour you forever in everything we do.
To the staff at Erie Shores Healthcare 2nd floor east, thank you for the comfort provided during her final days.
Thank you to the staff at Seacliff Manor, for the incredible generosity and care you have shown towards our Mom.
The family would like to extend a very special thank you and their sincere gratitude to Dr. Sheila Horen for her exemplary care and compassion throughout our Mom’s life, especially throughout these past several years. Dr. Horen, may you know how much you are appreciated.
Visitation will be held at Church of the Epiphany, Kingsville, on Monday, July 10, 2023 from 10:00a.m. until time of memorial service at 11:00am.
