Marlie Graham Obituary
It is with deep sorrow and endless love that we share the passing of Marlie Graham, age 21.
Known by all as “Marlie with a bow,” she was the very definition of light, strength, and grace. From the moment she arrived, she was Daddy’s little girl—a source of joy, laughter, and pride beyond measure.
Though her time here was far too short, Marlie lived with a strength that inspired everyone who crossed her path. She faced life’s challenges with courage and an unwavering smile. To know her was to feel her warmth; to love her was to be forever changed.
Marlie blessed everyone who was lucky enough to know her.
She may no longer be beside us, but her spirit will remain forever in the hearts of those she touched.
Rest easy, sweet Marlie. The world is dimmer without you, but heaven shines a little brighter.
Preceded in death by her grandparents, Elmore and Diana Martin, Thomas and Elaine Graham, great-grandmother, Ida O’Dell and Leo and Ethel Griener.
She is the beloved daughter of Paige Martin Graham and Richard Paul Graham. Sister of Mason Graham. Also survived by loving aunts, uncles, cousins and the Barnes family.
