Our hearts are saddened to announce the passing of Linda Carol DeGraff, also known as Nana, on Wednesday February 5th, 2025. She returned to her heavenly home, greeted by her loving parents and so many who have gone before her.
She leaves behind her husband of 49 years, Paul W. DeGraff; her sweet sisters, Donna, Sandy, Pam, and Lisa; her loving brother, Jeff; her beautiful child, Kellie (Jay); her 3 sons, Keith (Erin), Casey, and Paul (Audra).
She was also blessed to have raised another “son” later in life, Brent (Marissa) Kimbler.
The most important loves of her life that she leaves behind are her grandchildren. Ariel (Jeff), Jordan (Jessica), Taylor (Hunter), Emma, Jake (Emily), Porter, Hank, Sam, Isla, Will, Mason, Corinne, Johnathan, and Rosalie; and her 8 great grandbabies; Elliott, Olivia, Clarke, Karigan, Audrey, Xavier, Lydia, and Asher.
Nana was a devoted caretaker to many others and we know so many people’s lives were blessed because of her. She had a wicked sense of humor, always up for an adventure or a shopping trip, and even though she didn’t really understand the game of football, was an avid Buffalo Bills fan. Our bellies will miss her baking, and our hearts will miss her warm hugs.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the missionary fund of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, to which she served many years as a faithful member.
The family will be holding a celebration of Linda’s extraordinary life when the weather is warmer and the flowers are blooming. We will miss her forever. Arrangements are by the Blackstone Chapel of the Joseph McMillian Funeral Home. www.mcmillianfuneralhome.com
