Lenore Hart Abraham
formerly of Uniontown
Lenore Hart Abraham, formerly of Uniontown, passed away Tuesday, March 10, 2026, in Columbia, S.C. She was born at home April 6, 1927, in Footedale, to the late John and Jane Hart and moved to Uniontown at the age of 12. She attended St. John’s Roman Catholic Grade and High School.
Lenore worked at the Company Store and the Red Cross, then attended Waynesburg College before moving to Pittsburgh. There, she worked as a secretary for the Reuben H. Donnelly Corporation, which created and printed the Yellow Pages.
She met her future husband, Judson A. Abraham, in Pittsburgh. He was also raised in Uniontown. They were married in 1956, moved back to Uniontown and raised their family. The Abrahams lived in Atlanta, Ga. from 1976-1978 as Judson did project work for the Amoco Oil Company, then returned to Uniontown.
Lenore later became a realtor and worked with the Franklin John Realty Agency.
Lenore was a member of St. John’s Roman Catholic Church and its Jefferson Club. She volunteered at St John’s Elementary School, Meals-on-Wheels and the St. Vincent DePaul Society. Lenore moved from Uniontown to Parkersburg, W.Va. in 2008, and later to Columbia, S.C..
Travel and gatherings with family and friends were Lenore’s favorite. She never missed a chance to cheer on the Pittsburgh Steelers, terrible towel and all. She enjoyed trips to Atlantic City, Las Vegas and a few casino cruises in order to try her luck. Lenore was up for a game of bridge anytime and also had a fondness for golf and bowling.
Lenore was a voracious reader and a long-time member of the “Treasures” Book Club in Uniontown. Lenore possessed the dry wit as well as the poetry and storytelling talents of a true Irishwoman.
Lenore was preceded in death by her husband, Judson Abraham, in 1985, whom she always called “Juddy”; and five siblings – James Hart, Jack Hart (Bae), Francis Hart (Betty), Dorothy Isabel (Harry), and Elaine Hart.
She is survived by her three children: Judith Head (Bill) of Columbia; Eliza(Beth) Larsen (Jim) of Parkersburg, W.Va., and Judson (Jay) Abraham (Leah) of Fort Mill, S.C.; eight grandchildren, Katie Alvanos (Tyson), Patrick Head (Mary), Judson Abraham, Amy Abraham, Evelyn Abraham and John Abraham (Rachel), Joel and Andrew Larsen; two great-grandchildren, Daphne Alvanos and Walter Head; and seven nieces and nephews.
