“Good Night God Bless” …

Margaret (Mag) Graham, 86, from Bonners Ferry, died peacefully in her home Saturday morning with her family at her bedside.

She is survived by her husband, Bob Graham, married 64 years; their four children, Carrie Ellis (husband Glynn), Patricia Keese Graham (husband Michael), Lou Graham (fiancée Karri), and John Graham (wife Robyn) and families, including several grandchildren: Catherine, Kristen, Nick, Danyelle, Josh, Jacob, Sam, Seth and Grace. Mag has joined her two other children, Bill Graham and Cathy Graham Moore, who she missed very much. Bob was definitely the most important person in her life and he proved his dedication to her until the very end.

Margaret was born Jan. 31, 1934, in Fort Madison, Iowa, to Louis and Naomi Buescher. She graduated from high school as the salutatorian in Richland, Wash., and attended Washington State University, where she met her husband Bob.

Mag valued family and God and was dedicated to the Catholic Church. Her forgiving, kind nature is what we all remember the most, and we will miss her more than words will ever convey.

Funeral services were Tuesday, June 2, at St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Bonners Ferry. Due to the pandemic, there was no reception following the church service.
