Kathleen G. Graham, a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend, peacefully passed away at the age of 82 on October 24, 2025. She was born on August 23, 1943.
Kathleen grew up in Savannah and attended Savannah High School. She was a devoted member of her community growing up attending Bible Baptist Church, Riverside Baptist Church, and more recently Goshen Road Baptist Church. Her faith was a guiding light in her life.
In earlier days, Kathleen played golf and developed many friendships along the way. Her passions in life included cooking, baking, gardening, and crocheting blankets for her family. Kathleen was known for her wittiness, but most importantly for her love for her family. Family was everything to her.
Kathleen is lovingly remembered by her devoted husband, George “Winston” Graham, Sr.; her beloved daughter, Selena Yocco (Michael); and her stepchildren, Winston Graham Jr. (Katherine), Chris Graham (Nana), Caroline Rekowski (Christian), and Heather Roper (Chris). Her legacy continues through her grandson, Travis; and step grandchildren, Winston III, Fulton, Christopher Jr., West, Christian Jr., and Cameron. She will also be remembered by her nieces, Lynette Cadle (Danny), Marlette Waters, and Monica Gibson (Nick). Also to cherish her memory are nephews, Chris Wood, Zachary Waters; and several other nieces, nephews, and cousins; and her fur baby, Chester.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Lingo and Anna Dell Dunn; her sister, Linda Smith, who was also her best friend; her beloved grandmother, Kathleen Lane; and her sister-in-law, Tish Tessanne and her husband Jim.
In celebration of Katheleen’s life, friends and family are invited to attend a graveside funeral service at Bonaventure Cemetery on Monday, November 3 at 11:00 a.m. The arrangements are being handled with care by Baker McCullough Funeral Home, Hodgson Memorial Chapel.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly request donations be made to The Humane Society of Greater Savannah (7215 Sally Mood Drive Savannah, GA 31406) or Goshen Road Baptist Church (1323 Goshen Road Rincon, GA 31326).
The family would like to extend a special thanks to Pat and Danny Jackson for their support through the years.
Kathleen will be missed by all who knew her, but her spirit will live on in the hearts of those she touched.
