Ms. Graves’s vibrant personality and passion for teaching came from her deep-rooted family values. Coming from a musical family, she also enjoyed singing and playing the piano, and her joy was infectious. This musical spirit and love for people shone through in everything she did, making her not just a great gym teacher but a truly remarkable person. She was the proud parent of Will Graves, a retired professional basketball player who now runs the Will Graves Skills Academy, and her pride in him was always evident.
