Heidi A. McGraw

Heidi Ann (Larsen) McGraw, age 61, of Delavan, WI, passed away on Sunday, September 27, 2026. She was born on April 16, 1965, in Elkhorn, WI, and was the daughter of the late Roger and Kathryn “Katie” Larsen. Heidi was united in marriage to her husband Paul, on January 25, 1991. During her life, Heidi had many passions and made her visions into reality. She loved to spend time fishing with Paul, taking care of her flowers, as well as mowing and spending time on their property. She enjoyed doing anything outside, especially if there was a body of water nearby, however if it was winter, sitting by a fire or snowshoeing were her preferences. Athletics were one of the passions; she was a four-sport athlete in High School, and a three-sport athlete at Beloit College. To share her passion for athletics Heidi mentored and coached numerous sports at all different levels. She loved watching her daughters, nieces and nephews play any sport as often as she could. She was also a huge Green Bay Packer and Wisconsin Badger fan. She continued mentoring the youth as a school counselor for 20 years before pursuing a different passion.

She built and managed the Geneva Taphouse. For Heidi, it wasn’t just a business it reflected her hard work on a place that she had worked on building for the last five years. It was a place where she would meet new people, make new friends and build relationships. She loved all the employees and customers, who all became like her family. Her pride and joy were her family, her daughters, grandkids, husband and loving dog, Finnegan. Heidi lived for family vacations and camping trips.

Heidi was strong in her faith. She loved church and worship, Heidi loved God and knew He was in control all the time. Her loving, warm, loyal and faithful personality will be deeply missed, but her memories will live on through the love she gave to others and the lives that she touched. Heidi is survived by her loving husband, Paul; children, Kelly (Matthew) Ranallo and Maggie (Alex) Wales; siblings, Libbie Vander Veen and Eric (Darsie) Larsen; grandchildren, Eve and Eden Ranallo and Cullen Wales; numerous nieces and nephews and her loving dog, Finnegan.
