Lila Leota Shumway
Baker City, 1941-2017
Lila Leota (Umpleby)
Shumway, 75, of Baker
City, passed away on
September 20, at The Bee
Hive Homes in Baker
City where she and her
husband, Lynn Shumway,
shared a room after short
hospital stays.
Lynn held Lila’s hand as
she passed, Lynn passed
away the next day, Sep-
tember 21. A Memorial
Service for Lynn and Lila
will be held on Saturday,
October 7, 2017 at 2:00
p.m .at Calvary Baptist
Church on the corner of
3rd Street and Broadway
in Baker City.
Friends are invited to
join the family for a recep-
tion to be held immediately
following the service at the
church.
Cultural changes were
many during Lila’s life.
She was born to Harold
and Edna Umpleby on
November 26, 1941, at
Anthony, Kansas, and
moved with the family to
the Junction City area of
Oregon, in 1947.
Lila started school a
year early at the River-
view school near Junction
City where each grade,
1-8, included three to five
students.
Riding bicycles was the
preferred method of travel
on the lane between home
and school, and bicycles
filled many pastime hours
of childhood.
Metal “lunch boxes”
carried sandwiches made
at home the night before,
homemade cookies, fruit
in season, and usually
a thermos of cold milk.
Milking happened twice
a day, and the milk went
from the barn to the filter
and the “separator” to the
refrigerator to be chilled
overnight.
Lively softball games
filled school lunch hour,
with students of all ages
included in the family-
style game. The Riverview
school consolidated with
Junction City schools, so
the bicycles were put away
and the school bus became
part of daily life.
Lila attended fourth
through eleventh grades in
Junction City.
Everyone in the family
worked on the farm by
milking cows, taking care
of calves, hoeing weeds,
working with tractors
to cultivate between the
rows of beans, carrots,
sweet corn, sileage corn,
etc. Lila’s parents felt it
was important to play as a
family, so they developed
a standard size, packed dirt
tennis court with a stan-
dard net and lines. Every-
one became quite skilled
at the game. There were
always bales of hay with a
target attached for archery
practice, a hoop for basket-
ball shooting practice and
competitions, jump ropes,
and favorite inside table
games. Eventually a pool
table replaced the dining
room table.
In June of 1958, the
Umpleby family moved
to the Powder Valley of
Eastern Oregon.
Lila graduated as co-
valedictorian from North
Powder High School with
the class of 1959. Her
college years were spent
at Seattle Pacific College
where she earned her B.A.
degree.
After a few years working
as the assistant to the direc-
tor of the Seattle Science
Center, Lila chose to return
Eastern Oregon. She was
hired as a teacher at Burnt
River High School where
her duties included selling
tickets at the ball games.
She repeatedly told the
story of Lynn standing at
the gate and visiting with
her rather than going in to
watch the game.
Lynn and Lila were mar-
ried July 29, 1967, and
quietly celebrated their
50th anniversary in July.
During those fifty years
they built a home in which
they lived and worked on
the Shumway ranch near
Bridgeport.
Lila took courses to
become a certified teacher
and taught both elementary
and high school levels.
They adopted and raised
two children, Karl and
Kara Shumway, and later
adopted Tony Shumway.
Lila taught business
courses at Baker High
School for several years,
and the family established
a home in Baker so Lila
would not have to drive
over “Dooley” twice a day.
However, it was always
important to be at home in
Bridgeport on weekends
and to attend services at
the Burnt River Communi-
ty Church. Easter, Thanks-
giving and Christmas. She
also, at times, played the
piano to accompany the
singing in the services.
Lynn was frequently the
“fill-in” pastor both in
services and in calling
upon people who needed
encouragement. Both Lynn
and Lila loved being in the
mountains, and over the
years, they built their own
log cabin in a special spot.
When the family ranch
sold, Lynn and Lila devel-
oped a beautifully land-
scaped new home in Baker
City and planned to spend
their retirement years en-
joying their views of both
the Elkhorn and Wallowa
mountain ranges.
Lila especially loved
artistically planning land-
scaping and growing both
flowers and vegetables.
Her artistic ability was
not limited to landscap-
ing. She took many art and
painting lessons and con-
sistently improved through
the years.
She became very ac-
complished in painting
with acrylics, and recently
studied the techniques of
water colors.
Lila is survived by
siblings Lyle and his wife
Sharon Umpleby of North
Powder, Linda Van Orden
of Junction City, Lorna
Tonack of Baker City, and
several nieces and neph-
ews.
For those who would like
to make a memorial gift in
memory of Lynn & Lila
their wishes were to either
the Village Missions, or
the Burnt River Communi-
ty Church through Tami’s
Pine Valley Funeral Home
& Cremation Services PO
Box 543 Halfway, Oregon
97834.
