Abigail “Abbey” Lum, 28, formerly of Madison, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly in her Cleveland home on Monday February 5, 2024. Abigail was born on November 14, 1995, in Austin, Texas.
Abbey graduated from Madison High School in Madison, Ohio in 2014 and attended Ohio University. She was studying to be a sommelier. She loved her family, hiking, nature, manatees, any food with lots of cheese, and cuddling. She will be remembered for her keen intelligence, artistic talent, passion for justice, enormous tender heart, expansive ability to love, and so much more than we could ever say or write.
Abbey is survived by her cherished cats, Suki and Mei, her father, David Lum, her stepmother, Cindy Illig, her siblings, Weston Lum, Claire Lum, and Isabel Illig, her grandparents David and Ann Lum and James and Betty Illig, her aunts and uncles, Dennis Lum and Cathy Lallis, Cristen and Joe Mendez, Jim and Linda Illig, and many cousins. She was preceded in death by her paternal grandmother, Carris Wright-Lum.
Abbey’s ashes will be buried with her mother, Alberta “Birdie” Lum, who was laid to rest along with her maternal grandmother Elizabeth Betty Dingle and grandfather, Albert “Perc” Dingle, in North Madison Cemetery on Saturday, September 21, 2024 at 11 am. There will be a gathering immediately following at Madison Township Park Pavillion.

I still cannot believe this is real. My phone broke that night. My friend needed me and I wasn’t there. I cannot even begin to fathom what the Lum family is going through right now. My sincere condolences to Claire, and Weston, and David & Cindy. I’m really wanting to talk to Weston if he wanted to reach out, my email is attached here, please reach out Weston if you need or want to, when you’re ready. Claire also!
This does not seem real. Abigail was an angel on earth that did not see how
…my last condolences got posted prior to finishing, apologies for a second one.
Abigail was an angel on earth, and I wish she could see the beauty that the rest of us see when we look at her. I wish she could have figured out her unique beauty and worth as a woman in this world before it was too late. I care about her so much it’s unreal. I know her family, especially Weston and Claire do in a way most will never understand. Please reach out, I want to attend the memorial and also spend time at her grave if possible.
The type of pain the Lum family is going through, and has been through, is something no family or human deserves. I wish there was more myself or anyone could do than just offer a donation and condolences. I’m donating to a different local clinic that provides the same services and was right by her place btw- I know it’s Abigail approved, though. ❤
Sending all of my love to my cousin Dave, Weston, Claire, Cristen, Denny, Cindi, Isabel, and the entire family who loved Abbey so. You are in my heart.
It’s always the beautiful ones that leave us too soon.
Abbey I love you so so much and you will be forever missed by many. 💐🩷
I knew and loved her when she was in Austin. A beautiful female, just like her mother.She will be missed by so many.
I’ve just learned of Abbey’s passing.. sending my heartfelt condolences to all her family and friends. I had the pleasure of knowing Abbey when she lived here in Ireland all those years ago, her infectious laugh always stuck with me. She’s the reason I know what a manatee is and still to this day if I ever hear of one it always reminds me of her. I hope you’re at peace Abbey, rest easy. X
