My great grandmother, Edla M. Abrahamson, a native of Finland, passed away on December 7, 1969, at the age of 91.
She was the mother of Edgar J. Abrahamson, Edwin W. Abrahamson (my grandfather), and Einar L. Abrahamson all of Eureka. Aunt of Mrs. Hazel Taylor of Vallejo, Mrs. Violet Abrahamson of Alameda, and Elmer E. Abrahamson of Eureka. Grandmother of Robert Abrahamson of San Jose and Gerald Abrahamson (my father) of Rohnerville. Great grandmother of Mary, Janet, and Dee Anne Abrahamson of Rohnerville. She was also survived by her dear friend, Hanna Nelen. She was preceded in death by her husband, John E. Abrahamson, in 1945, and her sister, Anna (Newman) Abrahamson, in 1961.
She was a member of the Runeberg Lodge #102 of Eureka. Services were held Wednesday, December 10th at 2 p.m. with Rev. E. Paul Hoefer officiating. Interment followed at Sunset Memorial Park.

I have many great memories of visiting my great grandmother in her home at 2231 Garland Street in Eureka. She would serve us coffee (with lots of cream and sugar) even though we were young and over my mother's protests. She always had some homemade treat for us to dunk in the coffee. There were three beautiful lilac bushes at the back of the house so whenever I see or smell lilacs it brings back memories of her.
She came to live with us after a fall at home when I was about 9 or 10 and lived in our home until my mother was no longer able to physically care for her due to multiple strokes.
She liked to drink her coffee out of her saucer as it cooled the coffee to the right temperature and she always wanted "mush" (oatmeal) for breakfast.
Long ago childhood memories...
