Mary A. (White) Mumper of McVeytown passed away peacefully on Tuesday, June 18, 2024. She was

born on December 7, 1930 to the late Mason and Edna (Kane) White. She has anxiously been waiting

to be reunited with her husband, Milton O Mumper, Jr “Bunk” since his death on June 14, 1998.

   Mary will be missed dearly by her children and their spouses Linda Dickson, Mike (Gayle) Mumper, Dan

(Carolyn) Mumper, John (Dotti) Mumper and Nancy (Joe) Kutchner, 13 grandchildren, 26 great

grandchildren, and 13 great great grandchildren, sister Susan (Charles) Heckman, sister in law Helen

White and many nieces and nephews who were dear to her heart, and special friends, Jackie Barth, Kay

Dunmire and Nancy Mumper.

   She was preceded in death by brothers, William White and David White and sister Kay Chesney as well

as sons in law, Cliff Miller, Rick Dickson, grandson Shawn Miller and great granddaughters Taylor Dickson

and Tess Macauley.

   Mary graduated from McVeytown-Oliver High School in 1949 and Lewistown School of Nursing in 1952.

She and Bunk were married on October 25, 1952 and dedicated their lives to raising their children to

appreciate time spent with family. As a family they enjoyed many vacations together, especially their

annual trip to Emerald Isle, North Carolina. Many memories were made on their boat at Raystown Lake

and the waterways surrounding Emerald Isle. For many years they traveled to Daytona Beach for the

first race of the season and enjoyed the break from Pennsylvania winters in February. She documented

each trip in a datebook and filed away to be read again and again over the years in case you wanted to

know the price of gas in July 1982, or see who was along for the trip.

   She was a registered nurse at Lewistown Hospital, retiring in 1993. After retiring, she enjoyed lunch

with other nursing school alumni each month, sharing memories and discussing how nursing has

changed since they graduated. She had the heart of a true caregiver and was often found helping

friends, family, and total strangers in their time of need. If you ever crossed paths with Mary, chances

are you received a card in the mail . . . . birthday, sympathy, get well, and thinking of you cards were

mailed out several times a week.

   Mary was a member of the Spring Run Church of the Brethren and the Shining Stars Sunday School class.
