Campbellsville, KY—Susan Graham, a dedicated mother and a beloved member of the Campbellsville community, passed away last October. Her passing has left a profound void in the life of her son, Kevin Herbig, who has now taken on the task of ensuring his mother is laid to rest with the dignity she deserves.
Susan Graham was not just a mother to Kevin; she was his best friend and a source of strength throughout his life. She worked tirelessly, including physically demanding jobs such as her work with Amazon, to provide for her family. Kevin fondly remembers their time together, especially the last six to seven years when they lived under the same roof. During one of their many heartfelt conversations, Susan shared a surprising revelation with Kevin—that she had once been approached by the FBI while she was studying to be an accountant at the University of Louisville.
Susan’s love for holidays, especially Christmas, was well-known. She always made sure to bring out the totes full of decorations, adding joy to every occasion. Her dedication to her family was evident in every aspect of her life, and her passing has left a significant emotional and financial burden on Kevin.
In the final months of her life, Susan endured multiple hospital stays and care home visits. Despite her independent spirit, she struggled with the loss of mobility and expressed a deep desire to go home. Susan’s final act of independence was to have her feeding tube removed after meeting the necessary weight gain requirement, ultimately choosing to end her suffering on her own terms. She spent her last five days at home, where she passed away peacefully, surrounded by the love of her family.
Kevin has now created a fundraiser with a goal of $5,000 to cover the remaining expenses associated with Susan’s burial. Despite the financial challenges he faces, Kevin is determined to fulfill his mother’s final wish to be laid to rest next to her youngest son, Marshall Jr., at Memorial Gardens in Campbellsville, KY. To date, only $25 has been raised, leaving a significant gap in the funds needed to cover the burial costs, including the $1,600 still owed for the showing and cremation.
Kevin’s plea is heartfelt and urgent, as he does not want to wait another three years to bury his mother. He has shared his story in the hope that others might help him honor his mother’s memory with the dignity she deserves. Any additional funds raised beyond the burial costs will be donated to cancer research, as a way to give back and honor Susan’s legacy.
We extend our deepest sympathies to Kevin Herbig and the Graham family during this difficult time. May Susan Graham rest in peace, and may Kevin find comfort in the knowledge that his mother is now at peace.
