Mary Margaret Grace Brown Graham

Known to her closest friends as "Princess," Margaret graduated with a bachelor's degree from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. She enjoyed a successful career at several companies, including Martha White Foods and Peterbilt Manufacturing. Prior to the pandemic, Margaret enjoyed working as a waitress at the local American Legion Post 88, where she made many friends. She was of the Baptist faith and enjoyed studying her Bible.

She is survived by her biological son Patrick Graham McBride (Taffi) of Chattanooga, her aunt Betty Niemsky of Lorain, Ohio, and a close circle of friends, including Jane Thomas, Mike Jennings, Gwen Brown, Mary Missman, and Marcy Robinson. The depth of these relationships is a testament to the love and care Margaret shared with those around her, and she will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

As per Margaret's wishes, a serene and simple graveside service will be held at the Middle Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery. This peaceful setting will be the final resting place for Margaret, where she will be laid to rest alongside her beloved husband, Rickey.
