( September 5, 1937 - October 10, 2023 )
Linda Jean (Crasti) Graham, age 86, most recently of Conover, NC, passed away comfortably surrounded by her family on October 10, 2023.
Linda was born on September 5, 1937 in Jamestown, NY and raised her family in Lakewood, NY. She and her husband moved to Florida in 1993 and lived most recently for 30 years in Sarasota, FL. Linda and her husband moved to North Carolina in September to be closer to their family.
In her younger years, Linda enjoyed working at General Hospital.
She and her husband, Cliff, owned Graham Copy in Lakewood, NY for 20 years. After an early retirement, Linda enjoyed selling real estate at Turner Brokers for several years.
Linda was the youngest child of ten. She was preceded in death by her seven sisters and two brothers. She was a devout Catholic and member of St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Sarasota, FL. She would read her prayer cards every single night.
Her interests included golf, roller blading, Facebook and her friends. But her greatest interest and love was for her family. She adored her siblings, children, grandchildren, great-granddaughter, nieces and nephews. They were her whole world.
Surviving Linda is her husband of 62 years, Clifford; two sons, Michael (Lisa) Graham of Floral City, FL and Mathew (Natasha) Graham of Lutz, FL; two daughters, Michele (Ken) Baker of Conover, NC and Melissa (Donovan) Collins of Charlotte, NC; ten grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
