MARIANNE MARTIN GRAHAM, Daughter of William and Naomi Martin and beloved mother and grandmother, died on November 11, 2006 after a short and courageous battle with lung cancer. Born in Dallas on January 2, 1943, Marianne graduated from Highland Park High School and earned her Bachelors degree from the University of Texas and her Masters Degree in Clinical Psychiatry from the University of North Texas. She was a clinical social worker at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas for over twenty years. Her passions in life included her family, her close network of friends, her career, and hobbies such as cooking, fishing, and travel. She is survived by her partner, Len Smith, her daughter, Kaysie Montgomery, son-in-law Harold Montgomery, and her treasured grandchildren, Molly and Philip Montgomery. She will be deeply missed but always remembered for her infectious smile and big heart, her dry sense of humor, and her ability to live in the moment. Memorial services will be held on Thursday November 16, 2006 at 2:00 p.m. in the chapel at Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church. The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, P.O. Box 4486, Houston, Texas 77210-4486 (giving@mdanderson.org).
