ELAINE GRAHAM

Cainsville, Mo.

Elaine Graham, 95, died Monday, Dec. 3, 2012, at Harrison County Community Hospital in Bethany, Mo.

Funeral services were held Friday, Dec. 7 at First Baptist Church in Cainsville, Mo., under the direction of Bethany Memorial Chapel of Bethany. Burial was in Zoar Cemetery near Cainsville.

Mrs. Graham, daughter of Harley and Cora (Stanley) Maple, was born near Brimson in Harrison County, Mo., on Oct. 15, 1917. She grew up in the Akron community and graduated from Cainsville High School. She married Jack Graham on June 19, 1937. They actively participated in their church and community, and were engaged in farming until Mr. Graham's death on Jan. 27, 1990. They enjoyed winters in Texas for 15 years, but her family was her greatest joy.

She accepted Christ at an early age and placed her membership in Cainsville First Baptist Church, and remained a faithful member until her death.

Survivors include her children, Phillip Graham (and wife, Daniela) and JoAnn Johnson (and husband, Philip); six grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; and two great-great granchildren; a brother-in-law, Kenneth Bondurant; and cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.

In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her parents; a brother, Stanley Maple; three sisters, Ilene Thomas, Kathleen Clegg, and Janna Bondurant, and a granddaughter, Sara Johnson.

Memorial gifts to Cainsville First Baptist Church or Zoar Cemetery may be left in care of the funeral home.
