Mary Baker Rumsey was a founder and the first president of the Junior League of Oklahoma City.  Mary felt strongly that volunteers were a driving force for good in the community and epitomized this belief through a lifetime of service above self.

Her son, Joseph Rumsey, funded this lifetime achievement recognition to honor his mother through the Oklahoma City Community Foundation.
