Donna L. Graham
October 24, 1941 – August 27, 2026 (Age 84)
Donna L. (Meanor) Graham, 84, of Allegheny Township, passed away peacefully on Thursday, August 27, 2026.
Born October 24, 1941, in Springdale, PA, she was the daughter of the late Stanley Meanor and Mildred (Troup) Meanor.
Donna was a 1959 graduate of Springdale High School and worked in various administrative positions with the Kiski Area School District and Penn State New Kensington. She is perhaps best remembered, however, as a beloved child care provider who operated a daycare from her home for many years.
Donna was formerly affiliated with First Baptist Church in Leechburg and was a member of First United Methodist Church in Vandergrift. She was active in her community and enjoyed spending time with her Red Hat group and attending Rock Steady classes at Fit 4 Boxing in Murrysville, PA, where she was affectionately known as “The Slam” Graham.
She loved experiencing local culture and community events, including Fridays on Fifth in New Kensington, summer concerts at Hartwood Acres, and events in Pittsburgh’s Cultural District. A devoted Pittsburgh sports and Penn State football fan, Donna could often be found cheering on her favorite teams. She also had a special appreciation for classic movies and big band and swing music, with Glenn Miller among her favorites.
Donna is survived by her son, Michael Graham (Christine) of Phoenixville; her daughter, Dayna M. Graham of Allegheny Township; her daughter-in-law, Charlanne Graham, widow of her son David; three grandchildren, Tyler (Sydney), Molly (George), and Haviland (Andy); two great-grandchildren, Chase and Kate; sisters-in-law, Charlotte and Teresa; and numerous nieces and nephews who were dear to her.
In addition to her parents, Donna was preceded in death by her husband of 39 years, Douglas G. Graham; her son, David G. Graham; brothers, Harold, Melvin, and Ronald Meanor; sisters-in-law, Vivian “Bib” and Karen; brother-in-law, Richard “Dale”; and nephew, Shawn.
Friends will be welcomed by Donna’s family on Friday, September 4, 2026, from 10 a.m. until the time of funeral ceremonies at 11 a.m. at the Clawson Funeral & Cremation Center, 170 Main St., Leechburg, PA. Private interment will be held at Greenwood Memorial Park in Lower Burrell.
The family welcomes flowers in memory of Donna or donations to the Michael J. Fox Foundation in her name.
