Diamond Wedding Anniversary 60 years Fay and Graham Cross

Fay and Graham grew up together in New Farm. Attending New Farm State School until year 9, sitting the Scholarship Exam in 1952 before going their separate ways.

Fay worked at Coles variety store in the Valley with Graham commencing his apprenticeship as a French upholsterer. After meeting by chance at a dance at the Blind Institute in South Brisbane, they started dating.

Graham’s Uncle Cyril Bugler, a Presbyterian minister married the couple on April 20, 1963 at Kingsholme Methodist Church, New Farm.

They built their first home in West Chermside where they raised their three children, Michelle, Warren and Sharon. They moved to Sandstone Point in 2000 and Graham retired in 2004. They now have seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

Graham loves singing, joining the Gleeman, Golden Entertainers and The Silver Tones over the years. He now sings with Young at Heart, entertaining residents at various nursing homes around Bribie and Caboolture.

With Fay’s health deteriorating, Warren has taken on the role as carer alongside Graham.

To celebrate they are planning on a trip with some of the family.

The team at the LOCAL would like to wish Fay and Graham a happy wedding anniversary.
