Mary Celie Cox Graham

Mary Celie Cox Graham age 88 of Port St. Joe, Florida went to her Heavenly Home on Thursday, January 5, 2023. She was born in Carrabelle, Florida on July 26, 1934 to the late Clinton Edgar Cox and Alice Violet Maige Cox. Mary spent the early part of her life in Port St. Joe and then lived throughout the southeast doing the Lord’s work before returning home five years ago. She was known as a woman of great faith and she never missed an opportunity to share her testimony or the love of Jesus Christ with anyone that would listen. Mary was a pastor’s wife to William “Bill” Graham and was a founder of Bible Time Ministries. Her love for children was strong and she taught for many years at Faith Christian School in Port St. Joe.

She will be greatly missed by her friends and family, but we take heart in the fact that she is rejoicing at the feet of Jesus.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Pastor William “Bill” Graham and her parents.

Mary is survived by one son, Leslie Clinton Graham and wife Kelly Sailors Graham of Franklin, Tennessee; two brothers, James C. Cox and wife Linda and Lawrence Eugene Cox and wife Priscilla, all of Port St. Joe, Florida; one sister, Ranza Cox Whittington and husband Jimmy of Port St. Joe, Florida and one granddaughter, Gabriella Rose Graham.

Funeral Services for Mrs. Graham will be held at 5:00 P.M. on Sunday, January 8, 2023 at Faith Bible Church with Rev. Glenn Davis officiating. She will be laid to rest by her husband in Salem Baptist Church Cemetery in Climax, Georgia at a later date.
