Beverly Graham Obituary
Beverly Ann Graham (Shue) died January 16, 2026. She was born August 31, 1939 in Lima Ohio to Edward and Marian Shue. Beverly earned her RN nursing degree at Miami Valley Hospital where she then worked for forty years as a psychiatric nurse. She married Paul Arthur Graham on April 27, 1963. They resided in Dayton, Ohio for their first 18 years then lived in Bellbrook, Ohio for over 50 years. She spent 1 year in Wadsworth and her last 6 months in the excellent care of the Apostolic Christian Village in Rittman.
Beverly loved time with her family and friends the most! Cooking was her love language, clipping many recipes in books, newspapers and magazines to try them on her family and friends. She was her family's most vocal supporter, especially at swim meets and sporting events. Family beach vacations, local adventures, and trips to Europe were her favorite activities. Beverly was an avid reader of many types of genres but mysteries were her favorite. She took the trip of a lifetime with her son to England and sat in the Queen's box to watch Agatha Christie's longest running play, Mouse Trap. Water walking at Woodhaven Swim Club was her favorite exercise, and the pool was where she formed many friendships over 50 years.
Beverly was preceded in death by her husband Paul A. Graham (2011). She is survived by her 2 sons, Paul Graham of Wooster Ohio, Gregg Graham and his wife Holly of Thornville Ohio, her daughter JoLynn and husband Larry Kaufman of Wadsworth Ohio. She had 7 grandchildren Isaac (Susan) Kaufman, Nathaniel (Teresa) Graham, Ellie (Nathan) Miller, Shelby (Dan) Chung, Emma Graham, Ian (Faith) Kaufman and Eli Kaufman. She had 4 great grandchildren: Annie and Margaret Kaufman, and Elliott and Oliver Miller, with baby Chung on the way. She has 1 sister Joyce L. Forbes (Danny), niece Stephanie and Scott and a great niece Chloe and great nephew Jordan.
The family will be having a private memorial for their mother in the spring. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Northside Christian Church 7615 Ridge Rd. Wadsworth, Ohio 44281. Note "Food Pantry" in the memo.

Mom was always up for an adventure and my favorites were the River Cruises. She opened up the word of Paris and France for me. The Monet Gardens especially. Here she is in one area of the garden. She loved her sunflowers so this was a good spot for a picture. Even though her mobility was getting worse it never stopped her and she never complained. She was a trooper for sure. (Though Europe´s cobble stones and wheelchairs proved challenging) I also appreciated when she´s come and visit us she´s say, " I am bringing turkey meat `bulbs´". (The kids called them meat bulbs) She never asked what she could bring as I would have said, "that´s ok you don´t have to bring anything". She just brought dinner in her famous Cubs boxes. That was her way of expressing love. I am grateful we all have a lasting memory of the Kaufman-Graham Christmas and she enjoyed the buffet of international foods (she always loved a good theme dinner!) Praying she is enjoying our Lord and savior buffet table now! Much love - Holly
