Kathleen (Graham) Thornock
May 6, 1948 – November 30, 2023
In loving memory of Kathleen Thornock (Gramzy), our cherished mother, grandmother, and soul mate, who peacefully passed away on November 30, 2023. Kathleen was born on June 3, 1948, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, as the second child of Laurence and Donna Mae Graham.
Kathleen's early years were marked by the nomadic lifestyle of a military family. Her father, a dedicated US Marine, was stationed at various military facilities during WWII and the Korean Conflict; international travels including appointment to NATO in Brussels, Belgium. Despite the travels, Kathleen always considered California her home, having graduated from Oceanside High School in Oceanside, CA.
Her life took a beautiful turn at Brigham Young University, where she met her future soul mate, Terry L. Thornock. Kathleen and Terry became inseparable, exchanging vows in Provo, UT on June 3, 1968. Their journey together was blessed with the arrival of their children: Christopher Lawrence, Jeremy Nicholas, and Stacey Lynn. The couple embraced a life filled with adventure, residing in various locations including Helena, MT; Bountiful, UT; Tucson, AZ; Silver City, NM; and Santiago, Chile, following Terry's assignments in the mining industry. Kathleen also took the opportunity as a ‘granny nanny’ for extended stay and travel to Bath, England and Chennai, India for her youngest grandson.
