Wilma Jane Dumont

Wilma Jane Dumont, age 74, died January 19, 2008 at the Life Care Center in Boise, Idaho, from natural causes. Wilma was born on April 15, 1933 to William LeRoy and Jane Ann Staggie. Wilma was a member of the LDS Church and married Max J. Dumont on June 11, 1950. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Idaho Falls, Idaho Temple on February 25, 1967. Max and Wilma are blessed with 2 sons; John J. Dumont and Terry Wayne Dumont, 2 grandsons; Schuyler Max Dumont and Terry Max Dumont, 2 granddaughters; Tawnia Ann Cole and Tara Mae Currey, and 3 great-grandchildren; Brandon Scott Cole, Ethan Wayne Cole, and Austin Eric Currey. All reside in Boise, Idaho with exception of Tara and her son, Austin, who live in Orlando, Florida. Wilma welcomed her other children, who were added to the family by her son’s marriages, and loved them as much as her own. Wilma has 4 surviving brothers; John Staggie, James Staggie, Stephen Staggie, and Robert Staggie, all of Idaho Falls, Idaho. Her sister, Alta Simmons, lives in Kerville, Texas. Wilma was preceded in death by her parents, a sister, and 3 brothers. Wilma grew up and attended local schools in Idaho Falls, Idaho. She worked as a cashier for local merchants until she retired from the Kings Department Store. Christmas was Wilma’s favorite holiday and started in January of the following year as she shopped early to make sure her immediate and extended family were all included in her gift giving. Wilma enjoyed traveling with her family to Yellowstone Park and Jackson Hole, Wyoming while stopping for lunch along the way. She also enjoyed camping and was content to sit in the camper among the pine trees reading magazines. Wilma’s hobbies included crocheting and crafts. Over the years Wilma crocheted numerous blankets of every size and color, for both immediate and extended family. During Wilma’s stay at the Life Care Center in Boise, Idaho, not a day went by she was not crocheting someone a blanket. Wilma is known for her generous, kind, and loving spirit as she readily gave to others who were in need without expecting anything in return. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Thursday, January 24, 2008 at the Idaho Falls 24th ward LDS Church, 1155 1st Street, Idaho Falls, with Bishop Doug Hillman, officiating. The family will visit with friends from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m., Thursday prior to services at the church. Interment will be in the Rigby Pioneer Cemetery, under the direction of Eckersell Memorial Chapel in Rigby.
