Lisha Marie Graham, a loving wife, devoted mother, caring daughter, beloved granddaughter, and cherished friend, passed away on July 1, 2025, in Franklin Township, Ohio. Born July 15, 1978, in Dayton, Ohio, Lisha lived a life marked by her unwavering spirit, compassion, and creativity.

Her life was filled with many different careers and passions. Lisha was a dedicated employee to Newcomer Funeral Homes. She spent her time working with co-workers whom she deeply cared for, where she devoted herself to ensuring that every soul she worked with had the best care. Lisha’s most loved career was her job at Kroger where she worked with her dearly beloved daughter Kirah. Beyond her position at Kroger, her role of being a mother was most cherished by her. She called her daughters, Kaylah and Kirah, “The light of her life.”

Throughout her life, Lisha was unapologetically herself. Her personality was built on being loving and helpful. She also was a carefree spirit with an undying will to live her life to the fullest. Lisha spent time encouraging those around her to be the realest version of themselves. She surrounded herself with the world around her everywhere she went. Lisha’s soul had a bright light that she continues to shine with us in spirit today.

Lisha filled her own free time with being both a creative person as well as a dog lover. She firmly enjoyed coloring and drawing in her notebooks. Lisha found companionship in her beloved dog, Anna.

Lisha was deeply rooted in her community, actively volunteering with Northridge Freewill Baptist Church, demonstrating her commitment to helping others. Known as "everyone's mom," she radiated warmth and affection, making those around her feel cherished and supported.

Lisha leaves behind her beloved husband and high school sweetheart, Shawn Graham, who was alongside her through thick and thin. She is survived by her cherished daughters, Kirah and Kaylah Graham, whose lives reflect her nurturing spirit. Lisha was the loving daughter of Tony and Deby Huey; and the loving granddaughter of Art Abney. She will be dearly missed by a lot of close friends and acquaintances, all whose lives she deeply touched and changed.
