Marvin Willard Mumm

Marvin Willard Mumm was born February 21, 1926 in Yutan, Nebraska to Otto and Rose (Thomas) Mumm of Yutan. He was baptized October 10, 1926, and confirmed at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Yutan. He attended District 8 Country School and graduated from Yutan High School in 1943. Marvin married Alice Mae Neu on March 2, 1948, and they moved onto the family farm south of Yutan. Their marriage was blessed with three children, Philip Arthur, Patricia Linn, and Paula Kay. Marvin was active in the Yutan community, having served on the rural fire board, school board, and many committees at St. John’s Lutheran Church. He was an avid supporter of his children and their activities, attending school concerts, sporting events, 4-H meeting and county fairs. Marvin enjoyed playing cards with his friends and family, traveling around the area to cattle sales, and traveling with Alice while they were still able. He also enjoyed being able to see his grandchildren participate in all of their activities. He was proud of each one of them. Alice passed away December 15, 2000. After some health issues, Marvin resided at Lakeside Senior Living, first at the Terrace Assisted Living, and then moving to The Lighthouse, where he could receive more extensive care. He loved to tease all of the Lighthouse staff, and held them dear to his heart. They became his extended family, making sure his radio or TV was tuned in to the Huskers or Bluejays, helping him win big at Bingo, or teaching him how to play in the bell choir.
