Willette Graham, age 95, passed away Thursday evening, September 19, 2024 peacefully in her sleep, at Three Peaks Assisted Living Facility in Cedar City, Utah. She was born August 23, 1929 in Alabama to William Circero Norris and Martha Belle Newman. She was the youngest of 8 children. At an early age, her mother taught her to sew and crochet in which she had an exceptional talent! Throughout the years she created many wonderful pieces for her friends and loved ones.
She met and married the love of her life Leonard Graham where they embarked on a 60 year adventure where they lived in many different states with their only child. They ended up settling in Cedar City, Utah. After her husband’s death in 2006, Willette went to work at Walmart and became known as the “feisty little door greeter.” She also became famous for her love of Dr. Pepper and delicious fruit cake!
Willette was preceded in death by her husband Leonard, her son Billy W. Graham, and her granddaughter Jennifer Daugherty. She is survived by 7 grandchildren, Jeff, Kathryn, Tami, Danielle, Jordyn, Lexie, Courtney, and daughter-in-law Jo Graham, and 9 great- grandchildren.
The family would like to thank her favorite doctor, Dr. Bunker for all the years that he cared for her, Justin and the wonderful staff at Three Peaks Assisted Living for their loving and dedicated care for Willette. We would also like to thank Bailey and the staff of Zions Way Home Health and Hospice for their incredible care they provided in Willettes last days. As per Willettes wishes, there will be no funeral or memorial services held. Interment was at the Cedar City Cemetery Under the direction of Cedar Valley Funeral.
