Marcia Phyllis Graham, age 79, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, March 14, 2025. She was born on September 21, 1945, to Philip and Margaret (Wenzlaff) Stumpf in Saint Joseph, Michigan.

Marcia graduated from Saint Joseph High School in 1963. She married Robert Graham in 1976, and together they ran Graham Janitorial until his death in 2009. Marcia was employed by Robert Gerbel CPA as his right hand until he sold the business to Hungerford CPA where she worked until her retirement at age 75.
Marcia was loved by many. She loved holidays, family, friends, entertaining, and always had appetizers ready. She also loved playing cards (and winning), being poolside in the summer with a vodka and tonic in hand.
Our lives will not be the same without her in it. Thank you, Marcia, for all you did and what you never had to do.
