Rebena Thompson Graham

February 10, 1931 – July 19, 2021

Growing up in a household with parents J.W. Graham and Rebena Graham, we learned early on the concept of Graham Time, that is, bags could be packed for a road trip to see family that would remain by the door until Dad bellowed, “Let’s ramble,” which was usually days later. They were a fitting pair because Rebena was often late and liked to say, with a smile, an exclamation point and genuine optimism: “They can’t start without me!”
