Dr. Graham Allison Page, DDS

March 25, 1936 - October 19, 2020

Dr. Graham “Allison” Page, DDS, 84, of Yanceyville, died peacefully at home surrounded by his family on October 19, 2020, after five years of declining health. Dr. Page was born in Danville, VA, on March 25, 1936, the son of Dr. Ludolphus Graham Page and Clyde C. Allison Page of Yanceyville. He attended Caswell County’s schools in Yanceyville and graduated from Bartlett Yancey Senior High School, where he was student body president, in 1954. Dr. Page spent one year at UNC-Chapel Hill before joining the U.S. Army for two years, after which he returned to UNC-CH where he earned his bachelor’s degree in science education and his DDS at the dental school, graduating in 1964. That summer, he married Nell Harris of Kinston, NC, and returned to Yanceyville where he served the people of Caswell County as their dentist for 41 years, retiring in December 2005. He often said that he loved every day he practiced dentistry. Dr. Page was a member of Prospect United Methodist Church and a Mason, and at various times in his life was a Rotarian, a Ruritan, and for many years was a member of the Caswell County Board of Health. He was active in the Boy Scouts of America growing up and later served for several years as a Scout Master for the Explorers. In his retirement years, he enjoyed golf, rabbit hunting, and spending time in the North Carolina mountains near Boone. He loved Caswell County and the farm on which he grew up with his brothers and sisters. He also had his pilot’s license and enjoyed many years of flying from the small airport his father had built on that farm. Survivors include his wife, Nell Harris Page, of Yanceyville; two sons, Erik G. Page and wife Meredith, currently of Ashburn, VA, and Troy D. Page, of Cary, NC; and two granddaughters, Allison Russell Page and Amelia Saylor Page. Dr. Page also is survived by two sisters, Susan Page Creed Percy (David) of Clifton, VA, and Nancy Page Dunn of Jeffersonville, IN, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Preceding him in death are his parents and a brother, John Paschall Page. A graveside service will be held on Thursday, October 22, at Prospect United Methodist Church (1900 US 158 West) at 2:00 PM. Out of consideration for health safety during the COVID pandemic, the family asks that anyone attending the service wear a mask and maintain social distancing. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that friends consider donations in Dr. Page’s memory to: Hospice of Alamance-Caswell, at www.authoracare.org/give or 914 Chapel Hill Road, Burlington, NC, 27215; the N.C. Dental Society Foundation, whose Missions of Mercy program provides free dental care to underserved households, 1600 Evans Rd, Cary, NC, 27513; or to the charity of their choice. The family especially would like to express its gratitude to Hospice of Alamance-Caswell and to Dr. Page’s sitters, whose service allowed him to remain at home in his final months: Janice Smith, Jane Watlington, Judy Brown, and Brenda Williamson.
