Naomi Maxfield Shumway (October 3, 1922 – May 22, 2004[1] ) was the sixth general president of the Primary organization of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1974 to 1980.
In 1974, Shumway was selected to succeed LaVern W. Parmley as general president of the organization.
During Shumway's tenure, the Primary celebrated the 100th anniversary of its founding in 1878 by Aurelia Spencer Rogers.
In 1980, Shumway and her counselors approved of a plan to end Primary on weekdays and to incorporate it into the LDS Church's three-hour Sunday worship services.
In the early 1990s, Shumway was selected to write the entry for Primary for Macmillan’s Encyclopedia of Mormonism.
