Kalas Funeral Home & Crematory

Katherine King Graham found eternal peace on July 7, 2025. Born on July 17, 1929, in southern Maryland, she made Washington DC her home for most of her life and grew a family that meant everything to her. She joins the love of her life, Walter Jr (“Buzzie”) and two of her sons, David and Samuel in eternity. She will be lovingly remembered by her sons Walter III (Noemi) and Daniel, by her daughters-in-love Tina (Jim) and Joni, her grandchildren, David (Penny), Ellen (Garth), Benjamin (Julie), Rachel (Mark), Walter IV (Amber), Emily (Randy), Evelyn (Taylor), Samuel Jr (Karley), Brian (Anna), Gabriel (Vivian), Randi (Brendan), Asa, and Aaron, and by many great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and countless other loving family and friends.  

Katherine worked for several decades at the National Capital Bank of Washington on Capitol Hill, finishing her career as Vice President and Main Office Manager. Her sharp wit, “tell it like it is” mentality, and enduring work ethic endeared her to family, friends, and customers alike. She loved helping others and was always ready to give or serve for those she loved. She leaves her beloved family with many fond memories, and her influence will long be remembered and seen in the lives of those she leaves behind. 

The family will receive visitors in Danville on Wednesday, July 9, 3:00 pm at Townes Funeral Home, 215 West Main St., Danville, VA.

The family will receive visitors on Thursday July 17, 2025, from 10:00 until 11:30 am at Kalas Funeral Home, 6160 Oxon Hill Rd, Oxon Hill, MD 20745. 

A graveside service will be held Thursday July 17, 2025, 1:00 pm at Congressional Cemetery, 1801 E St SE, Washington, DC 20003.
