Joann Graham

RFarmington, NM- JoAnn Graham, 63, beloved mother, grandmother and friend, suddenly returned home to her Heavenly Father Sunday, March 8, 2020.
JoAnn was born February 10, 1957, to Robert Melroy and Ruth Rene Ellis Graham of Spring City, Utah. She spent most of her life in Spring City before moving to Farmington, New Mexico.
JoAnn was a graduate of North Sanpete High School and went on to study at Snow College where she graduated with two Associates Degrees.
She was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She had a very strong testimony of the church that she would share often with her kids and grandkids.
