Hy-Lo News sends our condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of beloved community activist, businesswoman, actress, and model, DeAnne Connolly Graham. The beautiful longtime Miami Beach resident and advocate passed away on Sept. 24th after a long battle with Breast Cancer.

Her family announced today that her Celebration of Life service will take place on October 28th at Miami Beach Botanical Garden. They ask that in lieu of flowers, you donate directly to AYUDA Miami and/or 305 Pink Pack in their Mom’s honor.

Rest in Power to Queen DeAnne Connolly Graham, whose smile lit up any room she was in and who was always willing to give people a helping hand. South Florida has truly lost a legend and great leader in the community.
