She was a member of The First Church of God in Hickman, where she served the congregation faithfully as the church pianist for over 40 years. She was a founding member of the church board of trustees, and served as president of the Women of the Church of God (WCG).
She served as Sunday School teacher, church secretary and youth group organizer. She also directed the music program. She served her church proudly with steadfast dedication and faithfulness.
Among the many volunteer duties within the church, she was also an active member of the community. She volunteered at numerous school functions, reading to school children through the 7-minute program, countless raffles, fundraisers and endless bake sales.
She had a love for baking and was known for her delicious cakes and caramel icing. If you were from Hickman, or the surrounding area, you knew of Damon’s cakes. She loved sharing recipes and cooking with her daughters and grandchildren. Family and service to her church was at the very heart of who she was.
