Carol Anne Graham

Following 61 years of a meaningful and compassionate life, our beloved Carol Anne Graham peacefully died on April 6, 2021 surrounded by the love and admiration of family and friends. Carol was a brilliant, strong, devoted and loving mama, sister, professor, and friend. She is survived by her daughter Erin (Phil) Sley, brother Bill (Donna) Graham, and many other treasured family members, friends, and students. We are comforted in knowing that she is reunited with loved ones who have gone before her, including father William Aubrey Graham Jr., mother Carol Fletcher Graham, husband Michael Angel Ramos Lozada, and nephew William T. Graham. Born in Montgomery, Alabama and raised in Punta Gorda, Florida, Carol went on to receive her doctorate degree in Rhetoric, Public Address, and Communication Theory. She taught at the college level for over 30 years, last teaching at Flagler College. She humbly impacted the lives of thousands of students through her strong conviction that all individuals have the power and ability to succeed. Carol also volunteered with many non-profits throughout her days, putting her love and faith into action in our community. Carol was an advocate for those who needed it most, a steady strength for those in their darkest hour, and an incredibly compassionate voice for those unsure of how to proceed. She will forever be remembered for the cherished lessons she taught in and outside of the classroom. Carol’s legacy of meeting people where they were at and empowering them to follow their dreams will live on forevermore.
