Shreveport - Mura Dumas Fitze went to her Heavenly Home on May 26, 2020.
Born on January 7, 1930 in Emerson, Arkansas, Mura was the first of five children of the late William Austin Dumas and Maudie Williamson Dumas.
Mura made her home in Shreveport, LA, surrounded by family and friends. She was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend to all who knew her. Always concerned with the needs of others, Mura went out of her way to make others feel special, happy and fulfilled.
Mura is preceded in death by her daughter, Sharon Pobanz; sister, Lura Johnson; and brother, Palmer Dumas.
She is survived by her daughter, Donna (Randy) Greengus; sister, Billie (Tom) Jackson; brother, Tedd (Sandy) Dumas; brother-in-law, Jerry Johnson; six grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren.
Mura will be greatly missed by her family and friends for her sweet and gentle spirit, always with a beautiful smile for everyone. Our family is grateful for the support of Mura's nurses, Angie with Live Oak and Brooke and Ann with Life Path Hospice.
A private family memorial service was held for Mura at Forest Park Cemetery on Saturday, May 30, 2020.

Oh how I loved my Aunt Mura. I was so lucky to be welcomed by this family when her daughter Donna and I became best friends in elementary school. Aunt Mura became a second Mother to me. If I had to pick one word to describe Aunt Mura it would be poise. She was always so poised in everything about her - her impeccable appearance, her impeccable manners and her always kind demeanor. She taught me so much and Im sure never even realized it. I have so many wonderful memories of times with Aunt Mura and my family with so much fun and laughter. I will treasure those memories. I moved away from Shreveport and I lost touch with her and now my heart hurts because I wish I had had the opportunity to tell her how much she meant to me. Im sending up prayers that she is in a wonderful place and no longer in any pain. My prayers for my dear friend Donna and her family.

Mura was the most kind and accommodating person, the sweetest friend, and a trusted confidante. She was never happier than when friends came to visit and never wanted them to leave. She was love!

Mura was truly an angel on earth! Having worked with her for 19 years, I never saw her without a smile on her face and always having an encouraging word for everyone. She will be missed. May God's Peace be with her entire family.
