She was received into the arms of Jesus in the early morning of August 13, 2016. Kitty grew up in Batesburg, South Carolina, a place that she dearly loved. She attended Converse College and graduated there in 1946. On October 3, 1947, she married the love of her life, her beloved husband, Dr. Robert Dent Graham.

She was involved in many civic activities including being a charter member of the Glencairn Garden Club and the Rock Hill Debutante Club. Kitty loved her Lord and her church and was an active member of the Episcopal Church of Our Savior for many years, until joining the family of Westminster Presbyterian Church. She loved studying the Bible and spent numerous years joyfully serving as a leader in the ministry of Bible Study Fellowship. Kitty was a loving and devoted wife and mother and is survived, in addition to her husband, by her cherished children, son, Robert Dent "Bobby" Graham, Jr. and wife, Fran of Atlanta, GA; daughter, Kathryn Graham "Kathy" Davis and her husband, Chuck, of Columbia, SC; and son, Buford Mayrant Colclough "Randy" Graham and wife, Jennifer of Rock Hill, SC; 10 adored grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, to whom she was known as "Mimi"; Robert Graham and wife, Kelly and children, Lilly and Evelyn, Will Graham and Chris Graham; Michael Davis and wife, Leah, James Davis, Katie Davis and Caroline Davis; Ford Graham, Stokes Graham and Colclough Graham.
