Cora Kathryn Graham, 98, of Lewistown, peacefully entered into the presence of her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, at William Penn Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center. Born on March 25, 1926, in Lewistown, Cora was the beloved daughter of the late Arthur and Myrtle (Fisher) Folk. She was preceded in death by her devoted husband, Gordon Graham; her sons, Jeffrey, David, and James Graham; and her siblings, Mary Hampton, Bert Folk, Robert Folk, Dorothy Folk, Ben Folk, Melvin Folk, and Helen Silar. Cora leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion in her surviving family: her daughter, Karen Kline of Lewistown; her brother, Arthur Folk and his wife Mary Jane of Burnham; her sister, Myrtle Ayres and her husband Steve of Lewistown; her cherished grandchildren, William Graham, Shane Graham and his wife Lori, and Stacey Muler and her husband Robert; six great-grandchildren who brought her endless joy, as well as many nieces and nephews. A dedicated and hardworking woman, Cora spent many years employed at the Arrow Shirt Factory until its closing and later retired from James Havice Inc. She was a faithful member of the Salvation Army Church in Lewistown, where she served as a soldier, delivered food baskets, and worked at the store-always embodying the spirit of generosity and service. Cora embraced life with enthusiasm, finding joy in camping, ceramics, word searches, and her favorite soap operas. Even in her later years, she never lost her love for dancing, moving to the rhythm of life with grace and joy. Family and friends are invited to pay their respects during a viewing from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 6, 2025, at King-Barr Funeral Home. A funeral service honoring her life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, March 7, 2025, at the funeral home with Majors Fred and Janet Clarke officiating. Cora will be laid to rest beside her beloved husband at Juniata Memorial Park. Memorial contributions may be made in Cora's honor to The Salvation Army, 9 S. Dorcas St., Lewistown, PA 17044, to continue the work she so passionately supported. Online condolences may be shared at www.kingbarrfuneralhome.com.
