What is the adjective that designates a thing or person that is still missed or mourned?

Question

I am struggling to recall a little-used adjective that would work similarly to a made-up word such as "bemourned," as in as in "our ----- old radio station that went defunct years ago." Have tried many different search strings in Google, to no avail. Thanks!

Answer 1

You might be thinking of this be- word given by Lexico

beloved
ADJECTIVE

1 Dearly loved.
As in any beloved regional recipe, the ingredients vary from cook to cook.

So the sentence could be

[We miss] our beloved old radio station that went defunct off air years ago.

Answer 2

Are you looking for cherished?

bringing the pleasure of love or caring about someone or something that is important to you

Another source, from Merriam-Webster:

to entertain or harbor in the mind deeply and resolutely

Answer 3

Bemoaned may be it.

Bemoan is to express distress or grief over; lament: to bemoan one's fate. A lost relative can be described as bemoaned since we miss them keenly.

As it sounds like your bemourned it may be what you were looking for.
