Cynthia Louise Graves

Cynthia Louise Graves, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away on March 17, 2025, at the age of 76. Born on March 28, 1948, in Kansas City, Missouri, Cindy was the daughter of Elma Pearson and Byron Taylor. She was raised by her mother and stepfather, Paul Pearson.

She was also blessed with one great-grandchild, Callum Vincent. She was affectionately known as “Wagi” to all her grandchildren and their friends.

Her love for the Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas City Royals was only surpassed by her love for her family. She spent every chance she had with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchild.
