Isaac Wilson Graham, born September 13, 1934, in Bilboa, County Carlow, Ireland.  Deceased November 17, 2022, in Kelowna, British Columbia.

Isaac came from a large family and was raised on the farm in Bilboa. He remained very close to his siblings throughout his life.

Emigrating from Ireland to Canada in 1953, Isaac attended the University of Saskatchewan, studying theology. Upon graduation, Isaac was ordained as an Anglican minister and embarked on his ministry with the church, serving parishes in communities across Northern Saskatchewan and Northern Alberta.

Isaac married his wife Sheila in 1962, a loving partnership in service of God and each other, which lasted 59 years until her passing in 2021.

Isaac and Sheila retired to Kelowna, British Columbia in 1999, and made many friends in the area through the church, golf, bowling, and social activities as well.   Isaac continued to volunteer his ministry with the Anglican Church in the Okanagan throughout his retirement.

Isaac was predeceased by his wife Sheila, as well as his brothers, John and Fred.   He is survived by his daughter Cheryl (Jerry) Shaver, son Craig, son Neale (Tracy), grandsons Connor and Josh, sisters Elizabeth, Margaret (Richard), brothers Bert (Gwen), Bill (Peggy) Art, and Ken. He is also survived by many beloved nieces and nephews.

Isaac will be interred alongside Sheila in the columbarium at The Cathedral Church of St. Michael’s and All Angels in Kelowna. A Funeral Service and Celebration of Life will be held on May 18th, 2023, at the Cathedral.
