Cornelius Adam Graham

Cornelius “Adam” Graham was born on December 11, 1936, in Mecca, Missouri, to Jeffrey and Ruth Graham.

Adam received his early education in Mecca and later attended and graduated from Plattsburg High School in 1955.

Adam met and married the love of his life, Edna Mae Jackson, on November 16, 1962. Their union was blessed with four children: Craig Graham, Stacey Graham, Tiffany Austin and Billy Graham.

Adam proudly served in the United State Army from 1960-1962, and after his discharge, he later worked at Everett Quarries for over 50 years.

Adam loved spending time with his family, especially during the holidays, where he could shower them with gifts of love.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Jeffrey and Ruth Graham; his wife, Edna Graham; his brothers, George, John, Richard and Brian Graham; and sisters, Zedda Graham, Cora Jones, and Margaret Rawlings.

He is survived by his children, Craig Graham, Stacey Graham, Tiffany Austin (Obie), and Billy Graham (Rebeka); special daughter, Rachel Graham; his sister, Clarice Brooks; 12 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces and nephews.

The family extends our heartfelt thanks to our relatives, friends, and everyone who has surrounded us with love during this difficult time. Your prayers, comforting words, messages, and acts of kindness have meant so much to us. We also thank the funeral home staff for their compassion and care. Thank you for honoring his memory and holding our family close in your hearts.
