DELRAY BEACH — Margot Suzanne Graham, who grew up on Long Island and developed her sense of adventure as the daughter of a career Navy man, died Dec. 21 at the age of 65.
Mrs. Graham moved to Florida to live with her parents in the mid-1980s, said her husband, Allen P. Huntington — who met her shortly after that move. The two had been married for nearly 19 years at the time of her death.
A lover of travel and golf, Mrs. Graham worked for SunTrust bank for many years as a mortgage processor, helping many first-time homebuyers attain their lifelong dream of owning a home.
Mrs. Graham left the bank during widespread corporate downsizing, which was difficult, said her husband, but it also gave her more time to have fun on her beloved Windjammer cruises.
Mrs. Graham, a bit of a free spirit, loved that those cruises required no shoes, said Huntington, who joined his wife on several of her adventures. She went on seven or eight barefoot cruises, he said, until the company stopped offering them.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Graham is survived by three children from her first marriage: Alycia Leigh Westerbeck Horn, Erexenia Westerbeck Lanier and Thomas Westerbeck. She also is survived by four grandchildren.
The family asks that donations be made to Mrs. Graham’s college alma mater: Coe College, 1220 First Ave. NE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52402, or to a charity of choice in her memory.
