Obituary for June Ella Mumford June Ella Mumford (Hess) passed away on September 7, 2018. She was the loving wife of the late Robert “Bob” Mumford. They were married September 11, 1949.
June was born on June 24, 1925 to the late George and Lottie (Dellinger) Hess. June graduated from Central York High School in 1943 and went on to perform secretarial work at several businesses in York, including the Naval Ordinance Plant where she was voted Miss NOP in 1948. Additionally, she worked at Apollo Advertising and at Edgecomb Steel, where she retired on June 1, 1988.
She was known among her peers as hardworking and for her delicious cookies that she made every Christmas. June was a devoted mother who worked night work to be able to be home with her sons. She made many sacrifices so that she could support her sons in their school work, and attend their activities.
As her sons grew, she became a loving grandmother who didn’t hesitate to spoil her grandkids. June was best known for her love of holding babies and entertaining children, supporting her family, and her cooking/baking. She was an outstanding homemaker who took pride in her home as she was a meticulous housekeeper.
Her family voted her homemade chicken pot pie, chicken and waffles, and pumpkin pie as the best in the world. June honored each member of the family by making them a special meal, of their request, on their birthday. When June knew of your favorite food, candy, or snack, she was sure to have it on hand at her house for your visit.
She made every visitor to her home feel welcomed, loved, and spoiled. June enjoyed playing cards and board games with her family.
