Kathleen Louise Graham passed away peacefully on November 8, 2025, at the age of 91. Born on February 12, 1934, in Kansas City, she lived a long and fulfilling life, deeply rooted in her beloved family.

Kathleen was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose warmth touched everyone she met. She was preceded in death by her parents, Kenneth and Louise Kincaide, her loving husband, Ronald Dale Graham, her cherished daughter, Monica Rae Cordell, and is now reunited with them.

Throughout her life, Kathleen exemplified dedication and hard work. She began her career as a dental assistant, later serving as a secretary at JC Nichols Company.

She enjoyed bowling, playing bunko, and cards with friends, and exploring new destinations through travel.

Kathleen is survived by her brother, Kenneth Kincaide, Jr., her sister in law, Della Stokes, her loving daughter Gina Graham McVey and son-in-law Michael K. McVey, who provided her with endless joy and support. Her legacy continues through her dear grandchildren, Drake Graham McVey (Shannen), Tierney Daleen Hasty (Zachary), and Sarah Cordell (Trevor), as well as her three great-grandchildren, Dominic and Hallie (children of Tierney), and Reid (child of Sarah). Each of them carries forward her spirit and love.
