Anna Graham Obituary
Ann was a proud graduate of Lavaca High School, where she was named Valedictorian. In the same year of her graduation, she married the love of her life, Jimmy Graham, on August 8, 1964.
For 20 years, Ann owned Ann's Needle Arts, where she shared her passion for creativity and crafts. She found joy in cooking, gardening, and spending quality time with family and friends. Ann was deeply committed to serving her community, particularly through the Wednesday Night Meal Ministry at First Baptist Church in Lavaca, Bible Study Fellowship's Children's Ministry and participated in mission trips to India.
Ann will be remembered as a loving mother, devoted Grammy, and faithful servant of the Lord. Her life was a testament to the love of Jesus, often shown through home-cooked meals and acts of kindness.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Jimmy Graham; her parents, Cason and Marie Cross; and her sister, Katy Winton.
She is survived by her two children, Jason Graham and wife Monica, and Aron Hild; two grandchildren Devin Hogan and husband Josh, Tanner Graham and wife Jessie; and three great-grandchildren: Myles Hogan, Raegan Nguyen, and Owen Hogan. Ann also leaves behind her two brothers, Tommy Gamble and Danny Cross, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and close friends who will cherish her memory.
