Lorelei Graham Krieger

On October 28, 2021, we lost our beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, Lorelei Graham Krieger. Lolly, as she was known best by her friends, was a resident of Collierville,TN. Born on November 18, 1943 in Chicago, IL. She was 77 years old when she passed. 

She enjoyed talking to anyone with whom she came in contact, never meeting a stranger. She shared her love with others easily and gave the best hugs ever. Lolly’s smile was infectious and people were drawn to her loving personality. Though she was homebound for a number of years with her health struggles, Lolly still managed to spread her love. After a brief and sudden battle with ovarian cancer, Lolly was called home surrounded by her loving family and caregivers.
 
Lolly was a former realtor who enjoyed collecting things, reading, spending time with her family, shopping, and traveling with her husband when her health allowed. Her greatest joy was being "Memaw" to her large group of grandchildren and being a mom to her beloved dog, Ada.
