Born on April 10, 1936, in Lancaster County, she is a daughter of the late Raymond and Margaret (Bleacher) Ragan. On March 3, 1952, she married her late husband, Karl E. Mummah, with whom she was blessed to share more than 60 years of marriage, before he preceded her in death on October 17, 2012.

She was also a member of the Juniata Co. Farmers Association, where she served as a director. At one time she was actively involved in the Juniata County Republican Committee and she fervently supported Foster care children and Fresh Air children.
Sylvia was a homemaker, who at one time had a craft store in her home.

It has been said that she was Martha Stewart, before there was a Martha Stewart.
