Francine "Fran" Graham

In Loving Memory
Francine "Fran" Graham, age 64, entered eternal rest in the loving arms of the Lord on October 29th 2025. Born on March 11, 1961, in the Bronx, New York, Fran's life was a beautiful reflection of faith, creativity, and compassion.
She was the beloved daughter of Evelyn Graham, 89, and the late Samuel Graham Jr. Her parental ties to the south, shaped her sense of family, resilience and grace. Yet, being born and raised in the Bronx, New York, was a defining chapter of her story-one she carried with enduring pride and elegance throughout her life.
From a young age, Fran's love for music became her life's rhythm. As a teenager, she not only embraced the joy of music but also shared it-teaching others and using her gift to uplift those around her. Her passion for the arts was a reflection of her soul: vibrant, expressive, and filled with light.
Fran was a native NYer, but relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina, where she lived for 16 years before settling in Houston, Texas. No matter where she lived, she brought warmth and kindness to everyone she met, always reminding others to find joy in life's melodies.
She is survived by her devoted daughter, Crystal, and her cherished grandson, Jimmy, age 11, who were the greatest blessings of her life. She also leaves behind her loving mother, Evelyn "Tink" Graham, her brother Maurice Chamblee, her sister Tammy Roman, other siblings, and a host of family and friends who will forever hold her memory close.
Fran's spirit will continue to sing through those who loved her most. Her laughter, her music, and her faith will remain a guiding light-a melody that never fades.
