Mary McClinic Graham's Obituary
Missionary Mary McClinic Graham of Liverpool, NY passed away peaceful at home surrounded by family and friends on September 23, 2023. The youngest of 16 children, Mary was born in Macon, GA on February 11, 1944, to the late Alexander and Hattie Mae Whitehead.
Our Mary Graham was known to be a mighty prayer warrior, and woman of unshakable faith.
To have known Mary is to know love, specifically the love of Jesus Christ. Mary built her life on the solid rock of Jesus Christ and was never afraid to share His grace or love to anyone that she encountered.
Mary was predeceased by her husbands, Joseph Graham and Charles McClinic, and 14 siblings.
Mary is survived by her 5 children, Joseph (Sucet) of Ft. Myers, FL, Thomas (Angie) of Buffalo, NY, Timothy (Patricia) of Liverpool, NY, Carol McClinic of Liverpool, NY, and Craig McClinic (Lynn) of Brockport, NY.
Missionary Graham was an amazing grand/great grandmother to 23 grandchildren, and 19 great grandchildren. Her brother, David Whitehead of Tifton, GA is the last of 15 siblings.
The family would like to thank the staff at the office of Dr. Gupta and Seneca Dialysis for over 17 years of wonderful care, service, and friendship. Also, to the staff and drivers at N. Syracuse PACE for their support over the last 4 years. We are truly grateful.
