At her daughter’s house in Columbia, the centenarian’s special day was filled with love and laughter, surrounded by balloons, cake, and the warmth of family and friends.
Graham’s life has been a tapestry of experiences and shared moments with her five children, countless grandchildren, and a slew of great-grandchildren, making her a well-loved person in her community.

Graham’s longevity is matched by her zeal for life, particularly her love of watching golf on television. This hobby offers her great satisfaction, as family friend Freddie Lee Collins observed, “If I ever go by throughout the day, she’ll be watching golf.”
Her enthusiasm for famed golfer Tiger Woods is well-known among her friends and family, demonstrating her commitment to the sport and its athletes.
