Gloria Jean McGraw

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Gloria Jean McGraw, 69. She had a beautiful spirit and was a kind and loving woman who always put her family first. She also loved to travel as much as possible! Her gentle smile and warm heart touched the lives of all who knew her. We will forever cherish the memories we shared with her and hold her close in our hearts. May she rest in peace knowing she was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by many.
