It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Warren Graff. Warren was the president of the Cemetery Association for many years, but more than that, he was our unofficial caretaker, making sure the fences were in good shape, working with funeral homes to prepare gravesites, and just keeping an eye on things. Our sympathy to his wife Wanda, (who is also our treasurer), children, and grandchildren.

Warren Wilbur Graff, 74, of Prairie Home passed away Monday June 12, 2023, at The Bluffs in Columbia, Missouri.

A visitation for Warren will be held at Howard Funeral Home Monday, June 19, 2023, from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. A celebration of life will follow with Mr. Ben Marshall officiating. A private burial will be at a later date at Pleasant Grove E&R Cemetery.

Warren Wilbur Graff was born April 18, 1949, the son of Wilbur and Ruth Anne (Baker) Graff. He graduated Prairie Home High School in 1967. Warren married the love of his life Wanda Medlin January 6, 1973, in Lone Elm. Warren had a passion for farming, working on tractors, and tending to the cattle, he was truly the jack of all trades. Warren was the president of the Prairie Home fair for several years and also served in the school board and the Pleasant Grove Cemetery board. His favorite title was Grandpa, his grandchildren always held a very special place in his heart. He will be dearly missed.

Warren was preceded in death by his parents Wilber and Ruth Anne Graff, brother David Graff and daughter Heather Graff- Sullard. He is survived by his wife Wanda Graff, daughters Holly (Patrick) Twenter and Hilary (Andrew) Erickson, and brother Joseph (Becky) Graff. He also leaves behind grandchildren Brendan, Ashlyn, and Chandler Twenter, Kendra (Clinton) Mitchell, Ty (Ashton) Stinson, Avery Sullard, Meredith and Samuel Cole, Piper and Poppy Erickson and great grandchildren Jace and Brinley Mitchell and Gentrie Stinson.

Memorial contributions are suggested to the Prairie Home Fair Building Fund or The Food Bank of Central and Northeast Missouri.
