Meadina “Dina” (McDannell) Graham (1962-2024)
Meadina Margaret Graham 62, of Oakwood, OH passed away peacefully at home of Pancreatic Cancer, surrounded by her family on May 12, 2024. She was born in Johnstown, PA on April 28, 1962 to Donald Blaisdale McDannell and Roberta Fern (Wentz) McDannell.
Dina attended both Tiffin Columbian High School and Mohawk High schools, ultimately graduating from Mohawk High in May of 1980.
When she met Bud Graham in the early 2000’s she had no idea marrying him would be the best thing she ever did. They married in Gatlinburg, TN on June 15, 2004 in a small but beautiful ceremony. And when she became sick, he was there taking care of her through it all till the end.
When she wasn’t inside spending time with her beloved cats, she was outdoors as much as possible. She loved being outside enjoying the weather, walking through the woods or around her pond to feed the fish. She enjoyed spending time with her family and holidays were always special because it meant everyone would be together.
Dina was preceded in death by her father, Donald McDannell, mother, Roberta McDannell and her brother, Donnie McDannell. She is survived by her husband, Bud Graham, two brothers, Darrell (Michelle) McDannell of Sycamore, OH and Christopher Brown of NC. Her daughters, Jennifer McDannell (Matt Coffman) of Lima, OH, Ashley Huffman of Perrysburg, OH and Stephanie (Dan) Lowery of Findlay, OH. A son, Michael Creeger of Findlay, OH and two grandchildren, Caitlin Gillogly of Centerville, OH and Quentin Coffman of Lima, OH.
