FARMINGTON Allia Mae Hughes, of Farmington, passed away August 12, 2017 at Southbrook Skilled Nursing and Rehab at the age of 84. Her journey began on June 17, 1933 in Farmington where she was born to the late Orville R. Hamm and Addie M. (Wells) Hamm.

Allia Mae grew up in the Hollowcamp area south of Farmington where she attended Cartee School, a one room school house. She walked three miles every day back and forth to school.

When her children were older, Allia Mae went to work for the Madison County Health Department where she retired from after twenty five dedicated years.
