Grace N. Mumaw, 84
——— § ——
Grace Naomi Mumaw, 84, a resident of Harrisonburg, VA passed away on July 8, 2015 at Crestwood at the Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community.
Miss Mumaw was born on December 22, 1930 in Harrisonburg, Virginia and was the daughter of the late John Rudy and Esther Forry (Mosemann) Mumaw. She graduated from RMH School of Nursing and Eastern Mennonite College (now EMU). For 50 years, she loved caring for patients, student nurses and staff in administrative duties. Nursing at RMH provided a strong foundation for future employment at St. Joseph Hospital in Lancaster, PA, George Washington University Hospital in Washington, DC and Sunnyside Presbyterian Home in Harrisonburg. Grace was a member of Shenandoah Valley Choral Society for many years and often sang with her sisters. Crocheting was her hobby during “working” days and in retirement she enjoyed quilting items for the Mennonite Central Committee Sale. Time with friends and family was often spent around a table game or jigsaw puzzles. She was a member of Lindale Mennonite Church.
Surviving are two sisters, Lois Martin and husband Emanuel of Harrisonburg; Miriam Mumaw of Arlington, Virginia; two brothers-in-law, Laban Peachey and Clair Basinger; nieces and nephews and their spouses, Phyllis Friesen, Byron Peachey, Joyce Peachey Lind, Keith Martin all of Harrisonburg, Lowell Peachey of Huchinson, Kansas; and Gail Laur of Sandusky, Michigan; fifteen grand nieces and nephews; and three great grand nieces and nephews.
In addition to her parents, Miss Mumaw was preceded in death by her step-mother, Evelyn K. Mumaw and two sisters, Helen Peachey and Catherine Mumaw.
A memorial service will be held on Tuesday July 14, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at Lindale Mennonite Church, Linville, VA with Pastor Duane Yoder officiating.
