Maria nee Madaleine Hale GRAHAM

Maria Graham, nee Madaleine Hale

Dec 21, 1931 – Jan 16, 2017

Maria Graham, nee Madaleine Hale, passed peacefully in her sleep, predeceased by one daughter, leaving her husband, Dr. Roland Graham and ten remaining children, 15 grandchildren and 1 great grand child.

Maria grew up in Montreal and as a teen was a competitive swimmer and diver and almost made it to the Olympics. At twenty-one, she married Roland (Eddie) Graham and they moved out West. She took up oil paints which she enjoyed all her life. When most of the kids were grown, she studied nursing. She had fun meeting people at garage sales. She was very dedicated to her spiritual life in Subud and attended world congresses in New York, Germany, Columbia and Spokane.

Mom, may Angels joyously fly you up to heaven where your many friends await a lovely soul returning home.

A memorial service will be held on March 18th, 2017, 2 pm, at 3281 Harriet Rd, Victoria, BC.
