Vanessa Marie Graham, age 71, of Overland Park, Kansas, passed away on August 12, 2026.

Vanessa was born on October 14, 1954, in Kansas City, Missouri, to Earle and Roberta Jones. Over her career, she worked assembling parts for aircraft instruments, assisting customers at a hardware store, and serving as a switchboard operator and then a file clerk for an insurance company. Vanessa found joy in watching her flowers bloom in the spring, cross-stitching, doing construction on their house, and she loved the snow.

She is survived by her husband, Miles Graham; her daughter, Angela Henning; and her grandson, Joseph Henning Jr. She was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Sharon Jones.

She was loved and will be deeply missed.
