Obituary of Margaret Graham

Margaret “Marge’ Graham, a long-time resident of Marina, peacefully passed Friday June 17th at Anjelica’s Villa in Seaside. Born in 1929 in New Britain CT, Marge is a 1947 Plainville High School graduate then earning her Registered Nurse license at St. Francis Hospital School for Nursing in 1950. In the late 1950’s Marge fell in love with California and enjoyed the rest of her life there with great friends, visits from east coast family, good food and drink, travel and entertaining. We will miss you Sarge Marge. When Marge first arrived she worked at Eskaton Hospital (CHOMP), she then worked as an office nurse for Dr. Bill Harness, the Waligora Group (Drs. Daniel L. Waligora, Basil Allaire, John Anderson, Dr William Breneman, and Daniel P. Waligora), and then Drs. Fred Haruda and Dale Helman, and Dr. Wayne Shen. Marge spoke often about the great people she worked for and with. Our family is forever grateful to Marge’s dear friends Edie Lemon, Dr. Wayne and Nora Shen, Bob and Linda Norris, Pat Mattavi, Anjelica’s Villa, and many others who enjoyed her company and supported her every day. There is no doubt Marge loved to be at the Wharf and on the water with her husband Jay, Bill & Brent Williamson, the Lemon family, and many other fishing family friends. Marge was predeceased by her love and beloved husband Jay Graham, her sister Gisela Ansberry and Jay Ansberry, Irene ‘Bunny’ Furman, and her brother Edward Noe. She is survived by her sister-in-law and fellow 1950 RN graduate Theresa Noe; nieces Susan Caisse, Shelly Boucher, Sharon Wrobel, and Stacy Furman Boyajian; nephews Eric (and Janelle) Ansberry, Paul Ansberry, Brian Noe, Bruce Noe, Barry Noe, and Scott Furman, and numerous grandnieces and grandnephews. Family and Friends will gather at Fisherman's Wharf on Saturday, August 13th at 3:45pm and depart by boat to say goodbyes. All of Marge's friends and family are invited. The Bermudez Family Cremation and Funerals of Monterey have been entrusted with arrangements for a private memorial. Service Information
