March 10, 1928 - January 18, 2017
Meredith Ann Williams Graves, died peacefully on Jan. 18, 2016 in Fort Worth at the age of 88.
Dr. Steve Nutter will officiate the ceremony. All are welcome to attend the worship service and celebrate Meredith's life.
Memorials: In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Pregnancy Lifeline, 4747 S. Hulen St., James L. West Alzheimer’s Center, 1111 Summit Avenue, or the charity of your choice.
Meredith was born on March 10, 1928 in Coffeyville, Kansas to LeRoy and Violet Williams. She graduated from Paschal High School and subsequently worked in San Francisco and Fort Worth. Meredith married George Graves in 1952. After a brief move to Snyder, Texas, they settled in Fort Worth and began a family.
While her children were at home, Meredith devoted her energies primarily to her life as a wife and mother. Her abiding faith in Jesus Christ led her, along with her husband, George, to begin a singles ministry, Icthus2, at McKinney Memorial Bible Church, impacting the lives of countless people involved in that ministry. Subsequently, she was active in mission trips to the Dominican Republic, volunteering in ministry to women in crisis pregnancies, and co-founding The Mission Link, a ministry serving overseas missionaries. In her final illness, she was comforted by the knowledge that upon leaving this world, she would be in the presence of her Lord and Savior.
Meredith had a quick mind and a keen sense of humor. She was a skilled artist and writer. She loved animals, particularly her dogs, and enjoyed spending time with her friends.
The family would like to thank Meredith’s caregivers over the last three years, particularly home caregivers Robbie, Irma and Lawanda, and too many staff to name at the James L. West Center for the loving care they extended to Meredith during her last year.
She is preceded in death by two brothers, Pete and Tony Williams.
Survivors: Her devoted husband, George Graves; her son, Peter Graves and his wife, Alexine of Austin; her daughter, Amy Graves of Irving, Texas; one brother, David Williams of Tyler, Texas; four grandchildren, Hallie Graves of Austin, Texas, Peter Graves Jr. of Dallas, Texas and his wife, Carmen, Sam Graves of Tulsa, Oklahoma and his wife, Jordan and daughter, Ellis, and Emma Graves of Austin, Texas; her husband’s grandson, Kent Churchill and his wife, Whitney of Fort Worth, Texas; sisters-in-law, Charmagne Williams of Gardnerville, NV, and Ann Williams of Westminster, Calif.
