Graham, Eunice Jean Halverson
Age 82
of Oak Park Heights, MN
Unexpectedly passed away Saturday March 3, 2012. She was born November 8, 1929 in Grafton ND to Eva & Thomas Halvorson. She later attended the Deaconess Hospital, ND where she earned a degree in Nursing. Eunice worked as a Head Floor Nurse at the University of Minnesota where she met her husband Dr. Asa Graham. They were married in the Hvideso Lutheran Church in Edinburg, ND and later moved to Faribault, MN where they raised five children. Eunice was a giving and patient mother and her words of encouragement inspired everyone.

On retirement Eunice & Asa moved to Bella Vista, AK where she volunteered and was active in church and political activities. In 2001, they moved back to Oak Park Heights, MN to be closer to their family.

Throughout her life, Eunice strived to create a caring community. By doing so she was actively involved with Hospice, the Bloodmobile, First Aid Education, Meals on Wheels and Questers. She was instrumental in the restoration and preservation of Johnston Hall, a historical part of the District One Hospital in Faribault, MN. She appreciated all the beauty and love of nature all around her and enjoyed sharing that with her children and grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, sister Helen Marie Stevens and parents.
She is survived by her children William (Cyndi) of Minnetrista, MN, Cathy (Curt Orde) of Centennial, WY, Mary (Jeff Johnson) of Apple Valley, MN, Margaret Krohn, Hudson, WI and Thomas (Sharyn) of Ashby, MN and 8 wonderful grandchildren, Cassandra & William Graham, Russell Graham, Nicole & Danielle Johnson, Molly & Amber Krohn and Samuel Graham; sister-in-law Mary Lindholm of Minneapolis, MN.
