When my grandmother died four years ago, Ms. Mumaugh wrote the kindest words about her on the legacy.com obituary. She didn't even know my grandma. But her words were so touching and kind. I wanted to return the favor for her. Thank you, Ms. Mumaugh, for being an inspiration to our community and for your kindness to all. You will never be forgotten.

My deepest sympathies to the family. You have lost a very special and unique lady and I am sure that you will forever feel the void of her presence. She made such a difference in so many students lives and many others who were fortunate enough to know her. Shirly, you will never be forgotten.
