Margaret Graham Obituary

Margaret Conway Graham

Margaret Conway Graham rejoined her husband of 68 years following a lengthy separation. Margaret Graham died January 18, 2012 at Crosslands, her home for the last 24 years.

Born in Baltimore, Maryland and growing up in Quantico, Maryland, she studied at Strayer Business College. She married the hometown love of her life, Harlan Lucine, in 1944. Margaret was most proud of her part in helping her husband achieve success in his career at DuPont and of the family they raised together. Having been widowed in 1967, she became a great help to her friends who followed that path later in life.

Margaret spent many years volunteering time to various organizations such as Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, The American Red Cross, the Altar Guild and Vestry at the Church of the Advent in Kennett Square, and The Brandywine River Museum. Margaret also enjoyed traveling all over the world, a pleasure she discovered with her husband. She continued this hobby with friends after Harlan's passing.

She is survived by her three children: son Gary and his partner Bonnie Graham of Medford, NJ; daughter Gail and her partner Karen Heebner of Chadds Ford, PA; and daughter Jo and her partner Fred Weaver of Zuni, VA. Her grandchildren are Nathaniel Graham and partner Kelly, Megan Church and partner Rob, and Kathryn Honsberger and partner Kaleb. There are 3 (with one on the way) great-grandchildren, Silas, Ayden and Noelle.

Interment will be private at the gravesite. There will be a celebration of life and reception at a date to be announced in the future.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the American Red Cross, Southeastern Chapter, 2221 Chestnut St., Philadelphia PA 19103 or St. Philips Church, PO Box 92, Quantico, MD 21856.
