Laurie L. Mumbrue's Obituary
On Monday, the evening of September 11th, 2023, we lost our beloved Laurie L. Mumbrue, a mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She was born in Oakland, California on April 25th, 1958 to the loving parents Robert and Helen Parnham. She married Thomas R. Mumbrue on August 16th, 1985, and made a family of her own. Laurie was truly one of the kindest and most loving to all the people she met. Her passions in life were the simple ones. She enjoyed spending her springs and summers gardening and planting flowers, baking delicious pies and other baked goods to feed her loved ones, and making cakes for every occasion. She picked up Crocheting and crafting, volunteered at church when she could and loved her Missionary trip to Africa. She even enjoyed curling up with a new Stephen King novel every so often. Laurie had such love for her pets, especially her dog Willie. She always looked forward to fall activities and spending time with friends and family, and most of all her grandchildren.
Laurie is survived by her husband of 38 Years Thomas R. Mumbrue; her children Michael Parnham, Tallie Mumbrue, Tasha Mumbrue, and Matthew Mumbrue; her grandchildren Matthew Dill, Sevann Parnham, David Parnham, Tyler Parnham, Domonick Sprenger, Vincent Graham, Bella Graham, Elliott Wanty, and Giana Gillette; her brothers Wayne (Pat) Parnham and Darrell (Betty) Parnham; her sister Linda (Dan) Konkol; her brother-in-law Todd (Terri) Mumbrue and her sisters-in-law Tina Spierings and Linda Parnham.
Laurie was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Howard Parnham; her niece Lisa Konkol; her father-in-law Chuck Mumbrue and mother-in-law Betty (Rasmussen) Sorenson; her brother-in-law Tim Mumbrue, and sister-in-law Terri Mykisen.
