Leo Otto Shumaker passed peacefully on November 16th, 2020 at home surrounded by his loving family after battling cancer for six years. He was born in Rehoboth, Ohio on November 25th, 1941, the son of William C. and Eula V. (Montgomery) Shumaker.
Leo graduated from New Lexington High School. After graduation, he worked at WOSUTV as a cameraman, often filming his favorite team, the Ohio State Buckeyes. He enlisted in the United States Navy in 1963 and retired in 1985 as a Chief Warrant Officer (CWO3). While still serving he got a Bachelor of Science degree from College of Charleston. After retiring from the Navy, he worked for Raytheon for 17 years as a Test Engineer for the guidance system for the Trident II Missile program.
Three things best embodied Leo’s life: He was a dedicated military man, a devoted and loving family man and an avid fisherman. He was very patient and gentle towards everyone. He had an amazing sense of humor, and his optimism persisted to the end.
Besides his parents, Leo is preceded in death by sisters, Mary Tharp, Bessie Masterson and brothers William Shumaker and Crayton Shumaker.
He is survived by his wife, Mary Anne, of 50 years, son Gregory, daughter Amy (Johnathon) Meyer, son Keith (Rebecca), granddaughters Emily and Meredith; and grandsons Isaac and Caleb Shumaker, sisters, Irene McGreevy, Thelma (Bill) Hunt, and Marie (Paul) Karpik.
