HUDSON FALLS – Margery “Midge” Mumblo, 96, lifelong resident of Hudson Falls, passed away May 1, 2020, from complications of COVID-19, while at the Glens Falls Center.
Born December 9, 1923 in Hudson Falls, where she lived her entire life, Margery was the daughter of the late Edward and Euphrosine (Benway) Maille and the daughter in law of the late Perley and Duretta Mumblo. She attended St. Paul’s Parochial School and was a lifetime communicant of The Church of St. Mary’s/St. Paul’s in Hudson Falls.
Margery married the late Harold Mumblo, Sr. on January 1, 1943 at St. Paul’s Church. They were married 59 years.
Margery loved her work as a waitress at Winnie and Pete’s Restaurant in Kingsbury as well as Steve and Kristy’s in Hudson Falls. She loved doing her crafts and was an avid reader. She enjoyed country music and had a special love for the “Country Express Band”, where her son, Bruce was the drummer. He would always sing a special song for his mother and then would throw her a kiss which meant so much to her. She loved having fun with everyone and you could be sure of a lot of laughter, when she was around.
Besides her husband of 59 years, she was predeceased by eight brothers, Eugene, Emmanuel, Roswell, Addison, Gilbert “Mose”, Reginald, Thomas and Harvey “Pete”, as well as three sisters, Augustine, Addline and Lea. She was also predeceased by her son in law, Harry Bromley and great grandson, Asher William Dufour.
She had so much love for her children. They were so good to her, always there when she needed them. Her four sons, Harold Mumblo and his companion, Cathy, Gary Mumblo and his companion, Tammy, Bruce Mumblo and his wife, Chris-Anne and John Mumblo and his wife, Paula and her two daughters, Euphrosine Bromley and Donna Legault and her husband, James were her greatest gifts.
She was blessed with nine grandchildren, Patricia (David) Lancette, Dawn (Chris) Dufour, Michael (Ann) Mumblo, Kelly (Jonathan) Porter, Tammy (Kevin) Varmette, Jeff (Ginny) Mumblo, Jonathan (Debbie) Baulsir, Kathryn Johnson, and Brian (Erin) Baulsir; eleven great grandchildren and 13 great great grandchildren. She was also blessed with several nieces, nephews and cousins, and had a special bond with nephew, Eddy Diehl, niece, Doris Sherman and great nephew, Nick Maille.
The Catholic Rite of Committal will take place at the Union Cemetery in Fort Edward and a Funeral Mass at The Church of St. Mary’s/St. Paul’s will be celebrated at a later date at the convenience of the family.
The family would like to thank the nursing staff at The Glens Falls Center with special thanks to Dorothy, Cindy, Theresa “T” and Ginger who gave personal and loving attention to our mother during the most trying of times.

Bruce and family,
The image of you sitting in a chair outside your Mom’ room saying goodbye was very difficult to see. I can only imagine the heartbreak you and your family have been going through since being restricted from physically having contact with your Mom during her final days. God Bless all of you! It was apparent your family was very close and her loss will be painfull for some time. There will be a day when you all can smile remembering the great moments together.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all the Mumblo’s
Sincerely,
Donna/Mike Graham

Dawn, I am so very sorry for your loss. I know how much family means to you.
Sorry for your loss.My condolences to the entire Mumblo family at this difficult time. Thoughts and prayers are with you all.
My heartfelt condolences to the Mumblo family. I very sorry for you loss. Mom was a great lady. Always had a good wit about her. When I was sixteen I filled In for a week at, Winnies and Pete’s, for her, need less to say she was a much better waitress than I was ever going to be, and the gentleman that I poured a bowl of applause down his back would say. That gave the restaurant a good chuckle that day. Something I will always remember.
My heart breaks for you all. My sincere and deepest condolences. The Newspaper article tapped into so many peoples emotions. May you find comfort in knowing she is at peace and so many hearts and prayers are with you. Bruce…I am so sorry.

I drove by and saw your love for your mother as you stood vigilante outside her window. I prayed for your mother and her son who was there that day. God is good- he has given you a love that will endure beyond this world. I am still praying for comfort and peace for your family.
Our deepest sympathy and condolences to Aunt Midge. Our world got a little darker but our Lords a lot brighter. God Bless all.
Dear Bruce and all the Mumblo family,
We were so moved by the vigil that you and your entire family kept by your Mom’s window during her battle with Covid-19. We first met her after moving to Rt. 4 as new HF teachers and discovering Winnie & Pete’s diner. Midge was as friendly, funny, and feisty as they come, while waiting tables & chatting with customers. She could make anybody smile! It was always a treat to see her from time to time over the years, too, especially when she was listening to your band. Just sing her favorite song from time to time; I’m sure she will hear you and smile Our sincerest sympathies for you all.
I am so sorry to here about your Mothers passing. My heart goes out to the family during this trying time. Your Mom was a wonderful kind and loving Woman. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
