Austin Graham McClearen, 92, passed away on Saturday March 28th, 2020 at Shepard’s Cove in Albertville.  The family held a private memorial service at Marshall Memorial Funeral Home.

Graham was preceded in death by his parents Lloyd and Annie McClearen.

Graham was a huge Tennessee Volunteer fan, because he was a 1953 graduate of the University of Tennessee.  He loved his Vols and one of his favorite past times was watching them play football.

Graham was a World War II veteran and was honorably discharged from the Navy in 1946.  While in the Navy, he was on a carrier going around picking up our military after the end of the war.

One of his favorite past times was working with wood.  He enjoyed building projects for his family and friends and enjoyed the hobby until just a few years ago.

Graham met the love of his life Billie and they enjoyed a feisty 71-year long marriage.  Graham and Billie had 3 sons and 1 daughter who completed their family.

In the private sector, Graham worked as a Supervisor for Farmers Home Administration.

Graham is survived by his devoted wife Billie; his children Joe McClearen and his wife Judy; Susan Frazier and her husband Ben; Kenny McClearen and his wife Melissa and Mark McClearen.

The family will hold a public memorial service at a later date.
