Frances Jewel Damron

Frances Jewel Damron was reunited with her husband of 37 years on Thursday, May 22nd, 2025. She had long awaited this day.

Frances was the humblest person. She would spend most of her days reading her Bible or her Christian based Amish books. Those who had the pleasure of knowing her would tell you how much she loved her TV shows; some of her favorites include: Judge Judy, The Price is Right, Let’s Make a Deal, The Voice, Jeopardy, and Wheel of Fortune. Every Sunday, she was sure to have her own church service in her home. She had a passion for traveling. She enjoyed helping others. She donated monthly to the Shriner Kids and the St. Jude Research. Her home is where everyone gathered for occasions and holidays. She was the best cook and anyone who had the pleasure of eating her cooking, would compliment how great her food truly was. Those who had the pleasure of meeting Frances would speak how wonderful she was. She was the true definition of the “glue” to the family.
