We have wonderful, fond memories of Aunt Tudy. What a blessing she was to all of us. As kids, we always looked forward to a visit from Aunt Tudy and Uncle Lewis when they would make their way down south….She always had a bounce in her step and joy in her voice….God Speed Aunt Tudy….
So sorry to hear of the loss of “Tudy”..she and my husband who passed away on Dec. 4th were such good corn sorting buddies.. He absolutely loved her..now they are together again…telling their tales..sincerest sympathy!
What a fine lady she was. Always smiling and always welcomed us with open arms when we visited. She will be truly missed. She and Uncle Lewis were such a blessing when dad was ill and we are forever grateful for their presence during a difficult time. Love to all the family

We are saddened by Aunt Tudy’S passing. I remember her fondly as always being a beautiful lady that always had positive things to say about everyone. I remember as a young child visiting with Aunt Tudy and Uncle Lewis eating rubbarb pie and picking wild mushrooms from the fields around Tipton. These are memories that I will always keep. We send our prayers and condolences to all her family. God speed Aunt Tudy
You led a wonderful life at 102 years old. I’m glad I was with you when you passed. We all miss you and love you. Morris,
Our sincere condolences to the entire family. We are thankful that Morie was there with her when she passed, I’m sure she found comfort in that. We will always find inspiration in the fact that Tudy worked up until she was 98 years old! Not many people can say that. May God Bless all of the Graham and extended family members.
Miss her bunches.
