Lillian Beam

         Mrs. Beam worked as a key punch operator for USF&G until 1989, then went to work for CSX Railroad and finally retired at age 59. She was an extremely good cook for her husband of 70 years and her four children, and of course, loved to eat - especially desserts. An avid fan of home teams Baltimore Orioles and Ravens, Mrs. Beam also enjoyed attending sports games and dance recitals of her great grandchildren. 

         Later in life she moved to Morningside Assisted Living and participated in beading and painting. She was also very good at cards and played Rummy, UNO and Trash.
