Lena M. Umble, 91, formerly of Atglen, died peacefully on September 5, 2011 at Landis Homes where she resided for 4 ½ years. She is now joyously reunited in heaven with 2 sons, Dennis and Galen, daughter Twila, grandson Jordan, sister Beulah Bumstead, and brother Isaac Mast. Born in Atglen, PA on October 16, 1919, Lena was the daughter of the late David C. and Mamie Stoltzfus Mast. She was the devoted wife of Harold M. Umble with whom she celebrated 69 years of marriage.
In addition to her husband, she is survived by daughter Loretta, wife of Don Sharp, Lancaster, PA, son Ken, husband of Marilyn Rheinheimer, Atglen, PA, daughter Joanne, wife of Dennis Weaver, Mansfield, PA, son-in-law Bob Charles, Biglerville, PA, and daughter- in-law Susie Umble, Phoenix, AZ. Lena has 12 grandchildren, 18 great- grandchildren, 2 sisters, Annabelle Hoylman, Mabel Umble, and a brother, Don Mast. Lena was a lifetime member of Maple Grove Mennonite Church, Atglen, PA where she was a faithful member of the women's sewing circle. She enjoyed committee work with Mennonite Women and attending conference meetings. She graduated from Eastern Mennonite School, Harrisonburg, VA in 1938. Lena was a talented quilter, quilting many quilts for her family including one for each great-grandchild, for benefit auctions, and for Mennonite Central Committee. She enjoyed gardening, especially the beautiful flower gardens around her home on the farm. She and Harold enjoyed traveling on Bob Neff Tours, especially ones taken with close friends. A favorite vacation spot was the Whippoorwill Cabin, Cedar Run, PA with the family. Lena's hobby of writing in her diary started at age 14 and she made her last entry on December 2006. Lena also enjoyed taking pictures and now her family has many photo albums of memories. She was an avid Phillies fan.
The family wants to thank the charge nurse, Lori, and former charge nurse, Betsy, and their staff at Lancaster House, Landis Homes, for the very professional and compassionate care they gave Mother these last years. It was to these loving caregivers that Mother readily gave hugs and kisses because she felt and was so loved by them. Thank you!
There will be a funeral service at the Maple Grove Mennonite Church, 549 Swan Road, Atglen, on Friday, September 9, at 11:00 a.m. with Pastors Stephen Crane, Don Sharp, and Jon Henson officiating. There will be a viewing on Thursday evening at the church from 6 to 8 p.m. and again on Friday from 10 a.m. until time of service. Interment will be in the adjoining church cemetery. In lieu of flowers contributions can be made in Lena's memory to MCC, PO Box 500, Akron, PA, 17501-0500.
