With deepest sorrow, we at Henryhand Funeral Home, regret to announce the passing of Mr. George Graham, Jr., 78, of Kingstree, SC, a retired Custodian at Baxter and husband of Lela Graham, who passed away on Monday, July 8, 2019 at MUSC Florence Campus, Florence, SC.

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. Psalm 23

George Graham, Jr., affectionately called "Wilkey", the eldest child of the late George Graham, Sr. and Ruby Cooper Graham, was born in Kingstree, South Carolina on November 11, 1940. He entered eternal rest on Monday, July 8, 2019 at MUSC of Florence, South Carolina.
George received his formal education in the public schools of Williamsburg County. He was employed with Baxter Travenol Laboratories for 25 years.

George was united in Holy Matrimony in 1973 to Lela Mae McCutcheon. He enjoyed piddling around outside, fixing lawnmowers, and especially being on his boat fishing. George loved "family".

At an early age, George joined Elijah United Methodist Church and accepted Christ as his personal Savior.
George was preceded in death by his father, George Graham, Sr.; two brothers: Joe Elvis Graham and Monroe Anderson; a son, George Daryl Washington and a sister, Georgiannia Bradley.
