Stephanie Ann Graham Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 7, 2025.
Palm Springs - It seems too soon to say goodbye to our beloved Stephanie, but the time has come.

Stephanie was born in Kittanning, Pennsylvania, on April 4, 1959, and she left us on January 25, 2025.

Palm Springs was her California home as a child, and when she graduated from high school here she went off to San Diego State Union Tribune, and she developed a successful 25-year career there. She was a cherished employee of the newspaper. In retirement, she returned to Palm Springs to be near her family.

Stephanie is survived by her father, Robert H. Graham, and by her brother, Robert J. Graham.

Her mother, Barbara Kay Graham, preceded her in death eleven years ago.

Family and friends across the country will forever miss her sweet words and gentle wisdom. She could not have realized how many people loved her and cherished her friendship. But now at last she does. Her ashes, as she wished, have gone to the ocean, and her spirit to the great beyond.

We will all be together again.
