Leah Marie " Garrison" Graham

Leah Marie “Garrison” Graham, 41, of Bartlesville, Oklahoma, went home to be with the Lord on July 2, 2026. Leah was born on July 31, 1984, in Phoenix, Arizona, to Perry Joe Garrison and Donna Lee Hill. As a child, her family lived in several places before eventually settling in Bartlesville, where she later earned her GED and built the life she loved. Leah was formerly married to Richie Graham, and from their marriage came the two greatest blessings of her life, her beloved daughters, Jaylen and Preslee. Above all else, Leah’s greatest joy and proudest accomplishment was being a mother. Her daughters, Jaylen and Preslee, were the center of her world. She loved them fiercely, protected them endlessly, and celebrated every part of who they were. There was never a question how deeply they were loved. Leah had recently returned to faithfully attending Tuxedo Assembly of God, a church that had been an important part of her life for many years. She loved the Lord and never hesitated to share her faith with others. Whether through a favorite worship song, an encouraging message, or a conversation with someone who needed hope, she found joy in reminding people that God was always near. She had a creative spirit and a generous heart. She loved making handmade gifts, creating beautiful picture frames, paintings, and finding thoughtful ways to make the people she loved feel special. She had a special interest in cars, to the point of naming her favorite vehicles. She adored flowers—especially lilies—and had a special place in her heart for animals, particularly her beloved dog, Lola. Those who knew Leah knew she loved with her whole heart. She was fiercely loyal, faithful, protective, and the kind of person who showed up when you needed her most. Her sister, Kodi, described her simply as “the perfect sister—the keeper of my secrets, the one I could tell anything to, my best friend.” Their mother often said Leah was wise beyond her years. To many children, not just her own, she became a second mom—a safe place, a listening ear, and a source of unconditional love. Perhaps her daughter Jaylen described her best: “She wasn’t punctual, but she was consistent.” She always showed up for the people she loved. In the words of her dear friend Tony, “Leah made such an impact on everyone she knew. Every emotion she had was all the way. If she was mad at you, she was mad at you with everything she had, and if she loved you, she loved you with every ounce of her being. Our lives will never be the same having known her. And our lives will never be the same without her.” Leah leaves behind a family who will forever carry her love in their hearts: her daughters, Jaylen and Preslee Graham; her mother, Donna James and husband Larry; her sister, Kodi Garrison and partner Jason Edmonds; her brother, Clay Garrison and wife Shelby; their children, Jakob, Zoey, Mylee, and Coleton; her nephew, Nathan Garrison, son of her half-brother Danny Garrison; the father of her daughters, Richie Graham; along with many extended family members, cherished friends, and countless people whose lives were made better because Leah was part of them. She was preceded in death by her father, Perry Joe Garrison, her half-brother, Danny Garrison, and her grandparents, Donald and Joye Hill. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18 A celebration of Leah’s life is being planned for what would have been her 42nd birthday on July 31, 2026. Additional details will be announced when available. Arrangements are under the direction of Davis Family Funeral Home – Dewey Chapel.
