Mickey Louise Graham

Michael Louise (Patee) Graham, known to all as Mickey, 86, of Tahlequah, Oklahoma, went to be with our Lord and the love of her life, Warren, on January 5, 2026. Mickey was born on August 7, 1939 in Glendale, California to Louis Alva and Ruth Inger (Sorensen) Patee. After Louis's death when Mickey was 5, her mom married Raymond Davis and he became a beloved dad to her. Mickey married Rex Goin in 1955. They divorced after 19 years. She then met and married the love of her life, Warren Graham. Mickey never had children but she was a beloved bonus mom to Warren's children - Lisa, Kim, and Warren Jr. as well as a mother figure to many others. She loved to crochet and made many beautiful gifts for her loved ones.

Mickey and Warren moved to Tahlequah in 1979 and eventually founded Graham's Plumbing from the ground up. Mickey was the glue that held it together, handling all the administrative work for the company as well as answering the phones and assisting customers. She was very proud that she continued to operate their business until she was 72.

Mickey is preceded in death by her husband, mother, father, stepfather and sister Patricia (Patee) Mashburn.
