JUDITH SHUMATE

Judith Maxine Shumate, 81, passed away on December 23, 2024. Born on September 24, 1943, in Mullens, West Virginia, she was the cherished daughter of the late MacMurray Shumate and Helen Shriver Shumate.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her beloved brother, Benjamin Shumate.
