Janet Graham Obituary

Janet Guion Graham, 66, of Stallings, NC, passed away peacefully at home on September 2, 2025, surrounded by her loving family and faithful four-legged companion, Daisy.

Born on September 11, 1958, in Charlotte, Janet was the daughter of the late Heath and Janie Guion. She was preceded in death by her brother, Claude Heath "Buster" Guion, Jr., and her granddaughter, Harper Caveny.

Janet dedicated 38.5 years of service to BB&T and was an active member of the Rotary Club. Beyond her career, she was known for her love of life - enjoying trips to the beach, driving convertibles, listening to Jimmy Buffett, crocheting, and most of all, spending cherished time with her family. She loved being the best Mimi to her grandchildren.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Al Graham; daughters Stephanie Weatherly (Doug), Courtney Caveny (Drew); step-daughters Whitney Graham and Laurie Graham (Nick); grandchildren Jackson Weatherly, Annie Weatherly, Eva Lemmon, Hudson Caveny, Ryan Lemmon, and Grant Lemmon. She is also survived by her sister, Sandra Adcock (Don), her sister-in-law, JoAnn Guion, as well as many beloved nieces and nephews.

Janet will be remembered for her boundless generosity, her willingness to care for others, and her enduring strength and resilience throughout her six-year battle with breast cancer.

Family will receive friends on September 6, from 10 -10:50 am at Heritage Funeral Home, Weddington Chapel, with a service to celebrate Janet's life at 11 am; interment immediately following.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to METAvivor in Janet's memory. METAvivor is a 501c3 charitable organization dedicated to funding metastatic breast cancer research with 100% of donations allocated to MBC-specific research grants. Contributions can be made at www.metavivor.org, ensuring that Janet's legacy lives on through meaningful advancements in the fight against MBC.
