Marion Reed Graber, 88, of Pretty Prairie, Kansas, passed away on January 6, 2026 in Pretty Prairie.

Born on March 16, 1937 in Pretty Prairie, to Rudolph J and Tillie Graber. On July 7, 1984 Reed married Rosella Kaufman. She preceded him in death on September 23, 1989. On July 24, 1999 Reed married Virginia Stucky in Pretty Prairie. To the marriage Virginia brought an adult son and 2 grandchildren. Reed was elated to have a son and grandchildren were the cherry on top. Reed was a loving husband to Virginia for 25 years until she was called home to the Lord on September 9, 2024. Reed was blind most of his life making it difficult for him to have a sole career in farming. He knew he wanted to do something with his hands and to help others. He attended Harris Chiropractic College in Wichita, KS and did his post graduate work at Spears Chiropractic Hospital in Denver, Co. After finishing his schooling in 1960, he went to work at Cessna on the assembly line. He soon opened up his own massage therapy office in South Hutchinson. He operated MR Graber Massage Therapy in that office for 54 years until his retirement at the age of 76. He still helped with the farm work in the evenings and weekends. He enjoyed riding in the wheat truck during harvest and changing the bearings on the disc.

Reed is survived by his son Terry (Tonya) Stucky, grandchildren Maegan (Cody) Lobban, Bryce (Heather) Stucky, Chandler (Mark) Oliverson, Tyler Sinclair, Tanner Sinclair, Taylor Sinclair, great grandchildren, Keller, Jace, Emmit, Elliot, Maddox, Madden, and nephew, Bruce Graber.

A funeral will be held on Saturday, January 10, 2026 at 2:00 at First Mennonite Church of Pretty Prairie. Visitation will be Friday, January 9, 2026 at Livingston Funeral Home in Kingman, KS, with the family receiving friends from 5-7 PM.
