Mildred Weaver Graham, born May 31, 1921, was called home to rejoice with her family April 22, 2012. She fought courageously against her battle with breast and bone cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's in the final years of her life, succumbing to the diseases only when the Lord was ready to call her home. A devoted Christian, Mildred lived her ninety years as a blessing to her community and worked at Rust Engineering in Oak Ridge until she retired. She belonged to Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church, where she taught Sunday school and was the pianist for services for many years. Mildred was preceded in death by her husband, Clyde Graham; her father and mother, William Rufus and Alice Weaver; her brother, Grendell Weaver; sisters, Macil Weaver Turner, Willodene Weaver Foster and Lorene Weaver Phibbs.
