DUMBAULD—Betty June
Dumbauld, 97, passed peace-
fully away on Wednesday,
Jan. 24, 2018, at her home in
Florence.
She was born on Aug. 28,
1920, in St. Joseph, Mo., to
Mrs. Elaine Marie Lannic and
Mr. Willard Prindle.
Betty was preceded in death
by her husband, James Samuel
Dumbauld in 2007.
They were married on Nov.
20, 1943, in Los Angeles,
Calif.
Betty was beloved by her
large family and many friends.
She is sur-
vived by
her daugh-
ters: Diane
E l a i n e
Harris and
her husband
Jim,
of
Newburgh,
Betty
Ind.; and
Dumbauld
J i v a n
Joti Kaur
Khalsa and her husband Guru
Terath Singh of Espanola, N.
M.; seven grandchildren, 14
great-grandchildren, one great-
great-grandchild, and many
nieces, nephews and cousins.
Betty and Jim raised their
daughters in Culver City,
Calif., and then in North
Hollywood, Calif.
During her daughters’ for-
mative years, Betty was mostly
a stay-at-home mom. Later,
she assisted at the Methodist
Church in North Hollywood
and then held a responsible
position with the Methodist
Headquarters in Pasadena,
Calif.
She was an active volun-
teer for many years with the
American Cancer Society and
drove patients to their medical
appointments.
Upon Jim’s retirement from
AT&T, they moved to Stallion
Springs, Calif., where they had
their home built on the golf
course; they both were avid
golfers.
Betty and Jim were active
in getting the first Elks Lodge
established in Tehachapi and
they were very active in the
community. During this time,
Betty pursued her love of tap
dancing and became a mem-
ber of the “Boogie Woogie
Mamas” tap organization. This
group performed on cruises,
at retirement homes, and for
many special events.
In 2000, Betty and Jim
moved to Florence and once
again established their home on
a golf course, at Ocean Dunes
Golf Links. This allowed them
to enjoy many wonderful golf-
ing days.
They became active mem-
bers of the New Life Lutheran
Church and both were devoted
to the Lord. Betty was also a
long-time PEO sister, a volun-
teer for Meals on Wheels, and
yes...active in her love of tap
dancing.
While living in Florence,
Betty taught tap at the local
Lane Community College and
in her home studio. She cho-
reographed tap routines and
with the ladies she taught,
performed at the Florence
Events Center, at local retire-
ment facilities and for special
events.
We cannot forget the love
Betty had for her dog, Zinger
and Sandy. She took them on
many beach walks.
Both Betty and Jim dearly
loved the Florence community
and the beauty of the ocean
and its surroundings.
Betty’s life was one “well-
lived” in her faith and love for
her family and friends. She
will long be remembered and
her legacy will live proudly on
in memory of this wonderful
lady.
A memorial service will be
held at the New Life Lutheran
Church (21st and Spruce
streets) on Saturday, Feb. 3,
at 11 a.m.
In lieu of flowers donations
may be given in her memory to
the New Life Lutheran Church
or to Peo Chapter DY.
