Clifton Park-Uriella Anea Perkins-Graham passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, August 27th, 2020. Uriella was born in Cambridge, New York on July 3rd, 1986 and was the daughter of Ora Dean Perkins of Salem, NY and the late Edwin Ernest Perkins. Uriella received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Business and her Master’s degree in Business Administration in non-profit organizations from Saint Rose College in Albany, NY. Uriella worked at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) as a human resource administrator and was the Manager of Student Employment. She also worked in the business administration offices in Northern Rivers, Commission on Economic Opportunity in Troy, NY and General Electric Company in Schenectady, NY.
Uriella was the most loving, giving, gentle, humble and beautiful soul. She loved her husband Marcus Graham and two children Selah (6) and Uzziya (3) with all her being. She enjoyed planning adventures for Selah and Uzziya to enjoy with family and friends. Uriella loved all things holistic. Her many boxes from Amazon that arrived each week consisted of essential oils, Himalayan Salt Ball and acupuncture mats. If there was a way to relax and embrace each gift in life, Uriella found it. Uriella was a sincere giving spirit, and never interested in drama. She embraced the goodness in others by sharing positivity and light.
Uriella believed in helping others. During College, she traveled to Honduras and served with the Habitat for Humanity organization building houses for others.
