It is with great sadness that we announce that Jeannette Killmon Powell passed away on March 4, 2023. She was born and grew up on the family farm in Jenkins Bridge, Va.
Jeannette and her husband Bill Powell began their married life in Pocomoke before moving to Cape Charles, Va., where they spent some of their happiest years, raising their children Debbie, Bill and Julie.
While living in Onancock, and then Chincoteague, Va., they made many dear friends, before the family settled in Laurel. There she was a faithful member of Grace Baptist Church and enjoyed volunteering at the hospital and playing bridge.
She worked many jobs in her lifetime, but most of all was a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Lorenzo and Vivian Killmon; her brother, Milton Killmon; her sister, Audrey Byrd; as well as by her husband Bill Powell, Sr., and her son, Bill Powell, Jr.
She is survived by daughters, Debby Mandycz and daughter and son-in-law Julie and Jesse Plummer; grandchildren, Bill Mandycz and Katie Donaldson; and three great-grandchildren, Ella, Amelia and Nathan.
Memorial Services will be on Saturday, March 18 at 11 a.m. at Grace Church, 805 Atlanta Rd. in Seaford. Burial will be on Monday, March 20 at noon at Parksley Cemetery, Parksley, Va.
