Faye Wilkins Graham passed from natural causes at the age of 91 on April 26, 2021 at home in Milwaukie, Oregon. She was born November 19, 1929, in Duncan, Arizona, the youngest child of Joseph D. and Clara E. (Lark) Wilkins. Faye married Russell B. Graham on September 27, 1952 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.
Faye graduated from Duncan High School, class of 1947. Following graduation, she attended the LDS Business College in Salt Lake City, Utah. Following this education, she lived in Medford, Oregon, with her sister, Fern. She met Russell at his grocery store while driving through Shady Cove with Fern and Len.

Faye held several positions of service in The Church of Jesus Chris of Latter-Day Saints. While raising her children in North Bend, she loved feeding and entertaining the missionaries.
