Freda Graham Obituary

Visit the Smith Family Funeral Homes - Little Rock website to view the full obituary.

Freda L. Graham, born on September 10, 1932, in Kenton, Tennessee, peacefully departed this world on July 21, 2025, in Little Rock, Arkansas. She was 92 years old, leaving behind a legacy of faith, love, and unwavering devotion that touched the lives of many.

Freda was a faithful servant of the Lord and a prayer warrior who dedicated her life to uplifting those around her through the power of prayer and compassion. Her unyielding spirit of dedication was not only reflected in her relationship with God but also in her roles as a devoted wife to her late husband, Morrow E. Graham, and as a loving mother to her son, Douglas C. Graham, and daughter, the late Janice L. Graham. Her nurturing heart inspired all, especially her cherished grandchildren, Stephen C. Graham and Hanna F. Graham, to whom she was a supportive Nana.

As a lifelong member of Immanuel Baptist Church in Little Rock, Freda contributed her time and talents to enhance the community of believers around her, demonstrating her commitment to God and her fellow congregants. Her personality, characterized by dedication, compassion, and a loving spirit, defined her interactions and relationships. Freda was known for her kindness, always ready to lend a helping hand or a listening ear to anyone in need.

In addition to her immediate family, Freda was preceded in death by her sister, Shirley Caeser, her brother, Fred Palmer, and her beloved parents, Fred Palmer and Madeline McDonald. They will forever be remembered as she rejoined them in eternal peace.

Freda's life journey will be honored through visitation and funeral services at Immanuel Baptist Church on July 25, 2025. The visitation will commence at 10:00 AM, followed by the funeral service at 11:00 AM, concluding with a time to reflect on the profound impact she had on so many lives until 12:00 PM.

Though she is no longer with us, Freda L. Graham's spirit will continue to live on through the love she shared and the faith she instilled in her family and all those who knew her. Her legacy of devotion and grace will serve as a guiding light in the hearts of those she leaves behind.  We rejoice in the fact that she is with her Lord and Savior and that we will see her again on that great day of resurrection when He returns.
