Amelia Emma Graham, 88 of Toms River, New Jersey, passed away peacefully at home on June 16th 2026, surrounded by the love and memories of a life well lived. Born June 28th, 1937, in Tuckerton, New Jersey. She graduated from Tuckerton High School in 1955.

Pre-deceased by her parents Eva and George Graham, her brothers George Graham Jr and Larry Graham. She leaves behind a loving family who will forever cherish her memory including her sister Joyce Swanhart, her daughter Barbara Armstrong and her husband Michael Armstrong of Toms River New Jersey, daughter Sheree Hammond and her husband Buddy Hammond (deceased) of Daytona Beach, Florida. She was also survived by her grandchildren Michele Blauvelt and husband Jonny Blauvelt, Katie Hammond, Travis Armstrong and Marcus Hammond and by her beloved great-grandchildren Nash Lovell and Finn Blauvelt.

Her three siblings knew her as “Sis” and the nickname stuck throughout her life other than her high school days being called “Millie”. She loved to travel and had the opportunity to visit many different destinations, loved to draw and paint, had a green thumb for gardening and absolutely loved to dance. She lived most of her life in the Garden State of New Jersey and spent 8 years in Florida close to her daughter Sheree and son-in-law Buddy and their two children. Later in life she returned to New Jersey and resided with her daughter Barbara Armstrong and husband Michael in Toms River. She was a kind and generous mother and grandmother who truly gave from her heart. She was loved and respected by her family and her friends. To the world she was one person but to her family she was the world. She will always be loved, she will always be missed, she will always be in our hearts.

“What we once enjoyed and deeply loved, we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us.” - Helen Keller
