Elizabeth “Annie” McGraw

She was a debutante, excelled as a ballerina and loved ballroom dancing. She attended schools in Santa Barbara, Boston and Switzerland.

She was a military spouse and former wife of US Marine Captain Frank V. Ball (deceased) and USAF LT. Col Donald C. McGraw (deceased).

Annie worked as a handwriting analyst, a small business owner in retail and dating services, as well as a tugboat operator. But her true passion was as an artist where she worked tirelessly for years!
