In 1979 Rep Graham established a working committee of childcare providers. The committee, meeting regularly at the State House, drafted child care policy recommendations and advocated for better funding and expansion of daycare programs. As a single mom, she knew childcare was key to supporting families.

With gratitude and in deepest sympathy

My husband and I send our deepest condolences. I love my Aunty and will miss our conversations. She helped keep the memories of her Graham in-laws alive. I loved the way she would say my mom´s name, "Tootie".
