Daily Review on July 28, 2015
Marguerite was born on Oct. 18, 1924, the only child of Mac Hibbard and Gertrude Rhodes Hibbard. She grew up on a small farm in Powell, Bradford County. She graduated from New Albany High School in 1941, completed two years of college at Albright College, and at the age of 19 began her teaching career at the two-room Spring Hill School, part of the Wyalusing Valley School District. She eventually received a degree in education from SUNY at Oneonta in 1972.
In 1947, she married her beloved husband and life partner, Thurston C. Shumway. For the next 20 years the two of them made their home and raised a family on the Shumway family farm at Spring Hill. When Thurston became a full-time United Methodist pastor they moved several times to different parishes in Pennsylvania and New York State, ending that phase of their lives at Plains, Pa. The two of them then ran a nursery school and daycare center, the Rainbow School, for seven years. In 1994 they moved to Harvey's Lake, Dallas Township, and ended over 50 years of continuous parenting there by raising their two grandchildren, Keith T. and Kristina Shumway. In 2013 the two of them moved to Ithaca, N.Y. to live with their oldest daughter, Diane.
Marguerite is survived by her husband of 68 years, Thurston Shumway; their six children, Diane, Eric, Allegra, Robin, Nina, and Keith D.; eight grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by two children and one grandson. In addition to raising six children and two grandchildren, Marguerite and Thurston opened their home and hearts to numerous foster children, foreign exchange students, nieces, nephews, neighbors and friends.
Throughout her life, Marguerite's great interest was children, education and teaching. She was a substitute teacher in the Wyalusing Valley School District for many years and ran a private kindergarten during the 1950s. She worked in many capacities for the United Methodist Church — Sunday school teacher and director, teachers' lab leader, organist and choir director, camp director at Sky Lake, Sunday school literature editor and contributor, and pastor's wife. She ran a farm vacation business in the 1960s and gave private piano lessons for many years.
Marguerite passed away peacefully at home on the morning of July 24. A memorial service will be held to celebrate her life at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 4, at the Spring Hill United Methodist Church, followed by a luncheon at the community hall. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Southern Poverty Law Center, one of her favorite charities. Messages to the family can be sent to [email protected].
