Granny had a way of making friends as she journeyed through this Earth. It may have been her humor or her good cooking, but we know the real reason was the love that she showed all her family and friends. She had a way of turning friends into family just as she did at Jasper General Nursing Home. Her love for her family at Jasper General was a strong bond built on love and compassion. We could never thank our second family enough. Granny was a very humorous person. And in honor of her, we ask that you only think of something about her that makes you smile.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Jerry Bernell Grantham, parents, Robert Loyd and Zettie Mae Graham, brothers, Rex, Robert, Hamp, Howard Graham.

Survivors include her daughter, Stephanie Blakeney, grandson, Waylon Blakeney (Emilee), god-child, Nick Bunkley, sister, Charlotte Parker, Jane Graham.

Pallbearers will be Phillip Buckley, Andy Dantin, Bob Graham, Mark Graham, Jim Parker, Trea Staples, James Stone, and Pete Yelverton.

Honorary pallbearers will be Mitch Blakeney, Brian Grantham, Mack McAlpin, and Glenn Myers.

In lieu of flowers, make donations to Jasper General Nursing Home.
