Jessie Graham Obituary

"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty." Psalms 9:1

Jessie Mae Mishoe Graham was born on July 9, 1944 to the late Boston and Beulah Mishoe in Bucksport, South Carolina. She was the twelfth child of thirteen children, eleven of which preceded her in death. Mrs. Graham was called home to rest from her labor to be with her savior on Friday, February 6, 2026, in the comfort of her home, surrounded by her loving family.

Mrs. Graham was born into a Christian family and, at an early age, she gave her life to God and joined Salem AME Church. She attended the public schools of Horry County and was a 1961 graduate of Whittemore High School. She furthered her education by attending Greenville Technical College majoring in accounting.

She was joined in holy matrimony to Mr. Lonzell Graham in 1963. This union was blessed with five children, grandchildren, one great-grandchild, and one great-great-grandchild. She was a member of Mount Carmel AME Church in Gray Court, South Carolina, where she served as president of the Lay Organization, president of the Stewardess Board, and member of the Willing Worker Society.

She held positions with the Greenville Medical Center, Norwich Pharmaceutical, and Eckerd's before joining the family-owned business, RTI/RAF LLC.

She retired, spending most of her time gardening and spending time with her grandchildren.

Mrs. Graham was a loveable person that everyone chose to have as a friend, as she was willing to be a friend to all. Praying and doing whatever she was called upon to do for her Master.

She leaves to cherish her loving memories and loving husband, Lonzell Graham; four sons, Eric (Kathy) Graham, Hakim (Kimaka) Graham, of Greenville, South Carolina, Salaheddin (Felicia) Graham, and Abdel (Nicole) Graham of Georgia; one daughter, Jessica Graham of Greenville, South Carolina; nine grandchildren, ten great grandchildren; one great great-grandchild; one beloved sister, Helen Mishoe Hunt; four brothers-in law, Dock Hunt, Arthur Jones, Ali (Kareemah) Muhammand, and Glenn Graham; three sisters-in-law, Vivian Miller, Gwendolyn Sally Mishoe, and Mae (Alan) Sears; a host of loving nieces, nephews and friends.
