Cumma worked for area garment factories, but her family was the important treasure in her life. Each generation was precious to her. She enjoyed taking care of her family as well as others. A great cook, family and friends remember her chicken and dumplings and carrot cake as well as so many other dishes. Cumma enjoyed mowing and working in her yard, and decorating her house, making it comfortable for visitors.
