Obituary of Barbara Ann Graham

On October 20, 2021, Barbara Ann Graham went home to be with her Savior after enduring a long, hard battle.

Barbara was born on June 2, 1941 in Suffern, New York to Ferdinand and Margaret Kreeck. On June 23,1962 she married Bruce W. Graham, with whom she shared 59 wonderful years. They raised three children together: Scott (Joy) Graham, Carrie (Eric) Betz and Jeff (Joanna) Graham. Barbara was a proud grandmother to seven grandchildren: Andrew, Holly and Kendall Graham, Dylan and Ryan Betz, Aiden and Ella Graham Barbara was an administrative assistant for over 25 years at Evangel Chapel in New Jersey, her home church, where she actively served in the nursery, women’s ministry, various children's programs and audio/video team. She was known for her special gift in carefully listening to others and empathizing with their needs. Barbara thoroughly enjoyed going to the beach any time she had the opportunity. Her hobbies included card games, shopping, and puzzles. A few of her passions were cooking, showering others with gifts, and spending time with family.
