Born to Arthur and Theresa Enaire, A. Ruth Graham Secor, known as "Penney" to her friends, passed away in the comfort of her home surrounded by family. A city girl raised on the East Coast with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins close by, she never really lost her Boston Accent.
She loved to attend parties and have a good time. She married Murland Graham in 1945 in Most Precious Blood Catholic Church and together they moved to the West Coast. With her great sense of style and charm she made friends easily wherever she went.
Her passion in life was chocolate; it was everywhere in her home including her dresser drawers. She loved to travel and was always packed and ready to go explore her next adventure at a moment's notice. She also volunteered her time to many service organizations. Some of her favorites were the American Business Women's Association, the Red Hats, and Crippled Children. She worked as a retail manager and when the opportunity to become the manager of the Russell Stover candy store on Broadway presented itself, she felt that she had found the perfect job, chocolate and all.
She is loved and will be greatly missed.
