Clara "Penny" Graham
Clara Lynette Broderhausen Graham (Penny) was called to her home in Heaven on Sunday, May 24, 2015. Born on February 10, 1946, in Houston, Texas, to Henry and Louise Broderhausen, Penny was generous, feisty, and loved to laugh. She married Charles L. Graham on March 12, 1966. They shared forty-nine wonderful years together. Penny took pleasure in traveling and spending time with her family. Her sons and grandchildren were her pride and joy. She and Charles enjoyed their retirement in Hilltop Lakes, Texas. Penny was an active member of Beta Kappa Sigma Sorority, Chapter #14368 and Order of the Eastern Star, Jasper Chapter #87. Penny bravely fought her battle with cancer for three years. Her courage was an inspiration, and she is now resting with the Lord.
Penny is survived by her husband, Charles Graham; son, Robert Graham; son, Scott Graham and wife, Kyann; grandchildren, John, Katelynn, Haley, and Aubrey; brother, Carl Broderhausen; sister, Melissa Brewer; sister, Rosina Ford; and countless other family members and friends. Penny is preceded in death by her father, Henry Broderhausen; mother, Louise Semora; brother, Albert Broderhausen; and granddaughter, Abigail Graham.
We are grateful for Pennys love, light, laughter, and the many lives that she touched.

Dearest Charles and family. Penny will always be remembered as a loving, caring OES “sister”. She refused to let her illness stop her from attending our meetings even when we knew she was struggling. Our love and sympathy to those who grieve her passing. She was an inspiration to me and I am glad God allowed me to call her my friend. RIP sweet sister.
