Jordan Leigh Graves

Jordan was born in Charlottesville, VA on Tuesday, July 26, 1983.

She graduated from Olympic Heights High School in Boca Raton in 2001 and also attended Florida Atlantic University. Most recently she was employed at Hobby Lobby as a department manager, which she dearly loved. Her artistic flair and her desire to help others showed in the feedback customers provided the company.

She was always willing to offer help to her family and friends. The friends she had, she held dear to her heart. While a very strong person, she was sensitive and truly cared for those around her.

Jordan leaves behind loving family and friends. But she'll always be remembered for her beautiful smile, a contagious laugh, and a desire to make the lives of those she touched better. While we will miss her physical presence every day, she will forever claim a huge place in our hearts. When we hear a dog bark or a Dave Matthews song, see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, or for no reason have a smile come to our face, we will know that Jordan is wrapping her arms around us.

Jordan is survived by her parents, Mary Graves of Boca Raton, FL and Tom Graves of Deland, FL; brother, Steven Graves and sisters Lauren Graves and Caitlin Graves, all of Boca Raton; her dog Piglet and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

A Celebration of Life Gathering will be held on Saturday, August 8, 2015 from 2:00 - 4:00 pm with a service at 3:00 pm at the Babione Funeral Home, 10060 Calle Comercio Drive, Boca Raton, FL 33428.
