Nora Faye Lum, 86, of Poteau, OK passed away Monday, April
16, 2018 in Ft. Smith AR. She was preceded in death by her father and mother,
Hansford and Lela Jenson, her brother, Jerry Jenson, and her husband, Thomas
Lum. Nora Faye was born October 31, 1931 near Poteau, OK to Lela and Hansford
Jenson. She graduated from Poteau HighSchool in 1949 and attended Poteau
Junior College before graduating, Summa Cum Laude, with a Master’s degree from
Abilene Christian College. Nora Faye married Thomas V. Lum in 1953. She worked
as a teacher then later worked for many years in real estate. Nora Faye enjoyed
crafting, quilting, oil painting, bird watching, gardening, and cooking…cooking
everything…all the time. She was an active member of the Poteau Church of
Christ for many years. She had a life-long commitment to God and the work of
his Kingdom, and it showed in her life. She walked the walk better than she
talked the talk. She was kind, loving, caring, and compassionate to anyone she
met, regardless of their circumstances or any disagreements they may have had. If
she ever had a bad day, you didn’t know about it. She was truly the happiest
when she was serving others…or working in the flower bed…or cooking. She was a
friend to too many to count in the Church and the community. It could be said
that one’s worth here on earth can be most easily measured by how much they are
missed when they leave, and Nora Faye’s absence will most certainly be felt in
this Church, community, and family.
Nora Faye would undoubtedly say that her greatest
accomplishment was her family. She is survived by her 3 sons & daughters in
law, Randal & Mia Lum, Ronald & Sandra Lum all of Poteau, OK, Michael
& Lori Lum of Weatherford, TX; 8 grandchildren, Miranda, Cody, Jeffrey,
Jerod, Justin, Johnathan, Kyler, and Jason; and 10 great-grandchildren, her
sister-in-law and nephew, Susan and Andrew Jenson, as well as countless other relatives and
friends.
Services will be at 2:00 PM, Thursday, April 19, 2018 at The Poteau Church of Christ with Michael Lum and Donald
Cherry officiating. Interment will follow at Oakland Cemetery in Poteau, OK.
Pallbearers will be Jeffrey, Jerod, Justin, Cody, Johnathan, Kyler, and Jason
Lum and Andrew Jenson. Honorary Pallbearers are Jim Estes and Wes Pickle.
