Lenora Mae Mumma

1934 - 2025

Lenora Mae Mumma, 90

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our mother, Lenora Mae Mumma, on June 2, 2025, at age 90.

Lenora was born in Bountiful, Utah on October 7, 1934 and was a member of the LDS Church.

Mom moved to California with her two sons in the early 60's. Mom had many different jobs through the years. She worked as a: hospital switchboard operator; waitress; doctor's office secretary; diet center counselor; homecare person; and had a gift store in downtown Woodland, California. Mom was a very talented lady and anything she touched would turn into a piece of art. Through the years she made flower arrangements to sell at the Roseville Flea Market and Auction to make extra money on the weekends. Then got into decoupage to sell at the auction.

That is where she met Raymond Mumma who she had 40 loving years with. They loved camping, cruises, and to just travel all over. Together, they moved to Hayden, Idaho in 2003 where they lived until Dad passed in 2012. Mom then moved to Post Falls, Idaho where she put her talent to work making a collection of beautiful peacocks. She would take a figure and turn it into a work of art. Mom always liked to stay busy doing something creative.

Her favorite thing to do was shopping at garage sales and thrift stores. Mom loved clothes and when she went out everything she wore matched.

Mom is survived by her son, Gordon Mumma and wife, Cindy of Post Falls, Idaho; son, Joe Ruga and wife, Margi of Yuba City, California; sister, Sherri Hill of Roseville, California; also many nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Mom will be missed by family and friends who knew her.

Mom's service was held on June 12, 2025 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

We would like to say thank you to Yates Funeral Home for their excellent handling of Mom's services, and to all that attended; thank you for all your kind words.
