Stumpe was nominated unanimously by the Franklin County 4-H Council. Each county is allowed to nominate one inductee into the hall of fame each year.

The Washington woman has served as Franklin County 4-H volunteer leader for 47 years.

In 1959 she started the first 4-H club in Washington, which still exists today as the Washington Eager Beavers 4-H Club.
Stumpe was a 4-H member in Franklin County, Kan., in the 1920s and '30s.

One of her proudest moments as a 4-H member was having the grand champion fat calf at the 1934 American Royal livestock show.

Stumpe also recalls planting a windbreak as a 4-H member, and 30 years later it saved a home and farm during a tornado.

Her efforts in establishing the windbreak and other conservation projects helped her earn the title of state conservation project winner.

She also has served as a 4-H club leader and a project leader for many different projects, including crochet, crafts and raising herbs.

Her craft members use corn cob rings from the Meerschaum Corn Cob Pipe factory to make decorative wreaths.

Stumpe raised two children in the Franklin County 4-H program. Her family recently has been named a 4-H Century family, meaning her direct family members, including parents, siblings, and children, have totaled at least 100 years of involvement in the 4-H program.
