Lillian Uram passes away at 97

Lillian Uram, whose two daughters live in Monongah, passed away Wednesday, December 25 at the age of 97.

Her children are Jean Mayo and Betty Sheaffer of Monongah and Mike Uram, Jr., who lives in Fairmont, and Tom Uram, who lives in Monumental.

I found Urams mostly as Farmington High graduates in my North Marion alumni book.

Lillian’s final four years were spent at St. Barbara’s Nursing Home in Monongah, near her daughters.
