September 13, 1957 - December 14, 2021 Kathleen (Kathy) passed away in the comfort of her home on December 14, 2021 in San Antonio, Texas after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born on September 13, 1957 to Charles and Bobbie Jean Linebarger in Midland and raised in Midland graduating from High School in 1976. Growing up with three older brothers, Kathy was a real "Brister". She enjoyed going and doing what the guys did. Camping, motorcycles, go carts, travel and sharing time with good friends and family was her choice of enjoying life. Kathy accepted Christ at an early age and has now joined her Mom and Dad and other friends and family in heaven. She joined her father in the Real Estate business obtaining her Realtor's license and enjoyed helping people find and sell their homes. Her marriage to Robert Graham blessed her with two children Caleb and Jordan. Midland was home until 2017 when she relocated to San Antonio to be closer to her only daughter. Kathy was a devoted friend, sister, Mother, and Grandmother. Being a mother was her most important role in life, until she was blessed with the honor of becoming a grandmother. Her first grandchild Colt, was born in November of 2015 in Midland to her son Caleb and daughter in law Madison. Charli Ann followed in March of 2016, being born in San Antonio to her daughter Jordan and son in law Mike. Then again in February of 2019 when Caleb and Madison had their second son Lincoln. When Kathy moved to San Antonio in 2017, she spent the first two years living with her daughter Jordan, son in law Mike, and granddaughter Charli Ann. She made frequent trips back to Midland to spend time with her son and his family as well as reconnecting with family and friends. Kathy was preceded in death by her mother Bobbie Jean, father Charles, nephews Ryan and Aaron Linebarger. She is survived by her children Robert Caleb Graham and Jordan (Bot) Abalos. As mentioned previously she had three young Grandchildren who adored their "Maa". Colt Carson Graham (6), Charli Ann Abalos (5), and Lincoln Hayes Graham (2). She is also survived by her brothers James Yorek (Sharon), David Linebarger (Gena), and Dan Linebarger (Kim) and numerous nieces and nephews.

The first time I met Kathy I was at the family Real Estate and Insurance office over on Cuthbert and Midkiff. I thought she was the most beautiful girl in Midland. Charlie and Bobby loved her like crazy. Come to find out, after knowing her for awhile, she was also a most beautiful soul. Love you Kathy....I´ll never forget you. Fly high, sweet friend.
