Martin S. Mumaw Jr. 1944-2020

Martin was born on Jan. 7, 1944, in Youngstown, the son of the late Martin S. and Ann H. Tursic Mumaw Sr.

On March 26, 1964, he was united in marriage to the former Catherine “Kay” Spiker who survives.

A lifelong resident of the area, he was a graduate of Wilson High School. Martin was employed for 35 years in the grocery business, retiring on May 31, 2007, as a grocery manager for Giant Eagle. He proudly served the Austintown Fire Department from 1972 to 1991 as a firefighter. Martin enjoyed fishing in his spare time; however, his greatest joy was being called Papa by his eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Besides his wife of 56 years, Martin is survived by his children, Cathy Mumaw, Debra (William) Santell and Marci (Dean) Babbaro; his grandchildren, Joe (AmberLee), Jeff, Kaylee (Nick Onderko), Daniel, Marli, Pauly, Willy J. and Harrison; three great-grandchildren, Lia, Julia and Joey; and his brother, Edwin Mumaw.

A memorial service to celebrate Martin’s life will be held at a future date.
