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 along with a memorial to be held at a later date.
