Jeram, Mary G.
DELMAR — Mary G. Jeram, 93, passed away peacefully on July 9, 2022, at St. Peter’s Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.
Born in Albany, she was the daughter of the late Marguerite and Frederick Jeram. Mary graduated from the Academy of the Holy Names and the College of New Rochelle. Upon graduation from college, Mary was a telephone operator and on the secretarial staff at Bell Telephone in New York City for several years. Due to a teacher shortage at the time, her sister-in-law Tedi suggested she become a teacher. Mary left New York City, returned to Albany, and earned her master’s degree in teaching from The College of Saint Rose. Mary taught in the Albany City School District for 30 years.
She was a devoted sister, aunt and loyal friend. Mary loved nothing more than spending time with family. She was selfless, willing to lend a hand and always had a kind word to say. She will be missed.
In addition to her parents, Mary was predeceased by her brothers, Frederick T. Jeram Jr., Francis T. Jeram and Thomas W. Jeram; her nephew, Michael F. Jeram; and her longtime dear friend, David A. Brown. She is survived by her sister-in-law, Ann D. Jeram; nieces, nephews and their families, Pam Whalen, Deb Jeram, Kim Ganley, Elizabeth Willis, Peg Jeram, Dan Jeram, Peter Jeram, Kassie Scholz and Theresa Cohen; 18 grandnieces and nephews, and two great-grandnieces and nephews.
Mary’s family extend a special thank you to the third floor team, nurses and support staff at St. Peter’s Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for their wonderful care and kindness.
