JAMES L. CROMWELL

It is with deep and heavy sadness that we announce the death of James L. 
Cromwell, who passed from this earth on October 31 peacefully at his home at 
age 73.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 11:00 A.M. on Thursday, 
November 3, 2016 at the North Monroe Baptist Church, 210 Finks Hideaway Road 
Monroe, LA 71203 with Dr. Johnny Funderburg officiating. Interment will 
follow at Mulhearn Memorial Park Cemetery in Monroe, LA. Visitation will be 
held from 5:00 P.M. until 8:00 P.M. on Wednesday, November 2, 2016 at 
Mulhearn Funeral Home Sterlington Road, Monroe, LA.

James was born in Monroe, LA on January 13, 1943 and lived there most of his 
life. He spent the majority of his free time escaping to the woods and 
waters with his sons and grandsons.

James was very active growing up. A star athlete in college as a Shortstop 
and Quarterback, he also graduated from Northeast Louisiana University with 
a BS degree in Business. The day after graduating, he married the love of 
his life, Dianne Cromwell. He was also a member of the National Guard and 
Army Reserve.

James managed Howard Griffin Retail Stores until 1971, when he started 
Glamour Pools, which he operated for 44 years.

Family was always first, with his kids and grandkids being his favorite 
topic of discussion.

James is preceded in death by his parents, Ray and Ruby Cromwell; and his 
brother, Edward Cromwell.

Survivors include his wife of 52 years, Dianne; his son, Kevin Cromwell and 
wife, Panzi; his daughter, Amanda Vicknair and husband, Ken; grandsons, 
Colby and fiancé, Abigail Bryan, Cayden, Austin, and Reed; brother, Kenneth 
Cromwell; sister, Peggy Burgess; along with many nieces, nephews, other 
relatives and friends.

We would like to give a special thanks to North Monroe Baptist Church for 
their hard work, love and support; the first responders for their quick 
response and stellar efforts; Dr. Charles Morgan and his staff for their 
excellent care throughout the years. Melanie Massey and her team (especially 
Tom and Beverly) for their constant encouragement and all the others who had 
such an impact on his life.

James was a loving father, husband, grandfather and friend to all he met. He 
was a wonderful example of a Godly man and lived his life in a way that all 
could see Jesus through him. He truly had a heart of gold and an extremely 
kind spirit. He was loved by all who knew him and will be missed beyond 
measure. Until we see our Honey, Daddy, and PawPaw again- we love you!
