Raymond D. Hannah, 89, passed away peacefully Monday, March 27, 2017, in Graham. A celebration of Life is pending with Morrison Funeral Home. Raymond was born Dec. 14, 1927 in Benjamin, to Jim and Effie Hannah. He was raised in the community of Berwick in Jack County. Raymond served our nation during the Korean war in the 931st Engineer Aviation Group. He lived his adult life in Graham as a building contractor. On Sept. 17, 1948, he married Marie Walker. Raymond was a man of many passions. He loved his family, and he and Marie raised a son and two daughters. His children remember always being a part of the family activities including 4-H, camping, hunting and ranching. Raymond loved and could tell stories about his experiences coon and deer hunting. He was a member of First Baptist Church. He helped construct the building and was a worthy patron of Masonic Lodge 688. After living in Graham, Raymond spent several years building his dream home near Fort Belknap. Raymond’s favorite hobby was constructing covered wagons and participating in trail rides. He was very proud of completing 30 consecutive years of the Graham-to-Albany trail drive for the annual Fandango celebration. Raymond’s friends and family, particularly his grandchildren, have many fond memories of these trail drives with their PawPaw. Survivors include his wife of 68 years, Marie Hannah; son, Derrell Hannah of Proffitt; daughters, Anita Miller and husband, Kurt, of Southlake, and Leslie Qualman and husband, Al, of Arlington; granddaughters, Meredith Miller of Redondo Beach, Calif., Ashley Rogers and husband, Adam, of Bentonville, Ark., Brooke Qualman of Brooklyn, N.Y., and Haley Qualman of Austin; and great-granddaughter, Isabella Rogers. Raymond was preceded in death by his sisters, Mary Lois Hannah, Odessa Hanna, Elzada Stephens and Ora Mae Beavers; brother, Eldon Hannah; and grandson, Jeff Miller. The family would like to give a very special thanks to the staff of Beyond Faith, Garden Terrace, and Steve Lubs, family friend, for their loving care of Raymond. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made in Raymond's name to the Humane Society of Young County.
