Sharon Graham Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Sharon was born on November 30, 1947, in Nevada, IA, to Eugene and Velda (Coughenour) Cagwin. She graduated from Nevada High School. Sharon married Hershel W. Graham on October 23, 1966, in Nevada, IA. They raised their family in Nevada until they moved to Nixa, MO in the mid-1990's. Sharon's two lifelong dreams came true, creating a loving home as a devoted housewife and embracing the joy of becoming a mother. She cherished every moment spent with her family, whether it was sharing home-cooked meals around the kitchen table, celebrating birthdays with laughter and cake, or enjoying the holidays surrounded by her family. Her happiest memories were always the ones made at home, surrounded by the people she loved most.
Sharon is survived by her husband, Hershel Graham, of Nixa, MO, her brother, Richard (Janelle) Cagwin, of Ames; her children Candice (Mike) Ostrich, of Carroll, IA, Michael (Poppy) Graham of Clever, MO, Jessica (Mark) Whorton of Forsyth, MO, and Samantha (Juan) Loto of Springfield, MO; nine grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
Sharon was preceded in death by her parents Eugene and Velda Cagwin; and her husband's parents Herbert and Martha Graham.
Memorials may be directed to the family.
Rasmusson-Ryan Funeral Home in Nevada has been entrusted with the care of Sharon and her arrangements. Condolences may be shared online with the family at www.rasmussonfh.com.
