David Paul Couvillon, Aramark retiree
David Paul Couvillon, 71, of Frankford, passed away Wednesday, June 22, 2022, at Beebe Healthcare in Lewes.
He was born March 10, 1951, in Grove City, Pa., to the late Bryson and Margaret Bailey Couvillon. In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by a grandson, Derek Long in 1993.
David and his family moved here in 1984 from Hyattsville, Md. He was retired from Aramark, where he worked for 23 years. He was a U.S. Army veteran and a member of American Legion Post 28. David enjoyed working on cars, watching westerns and helping others when he could. He will be remembered with a smile for his sense of humor, inappropriate questions and quick wit. David was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather who will be dearly missed.
He is survived by his devoted wife of 51 ½ years, Janet Couvillon of Frankford; two daughters, Lori Long (Robert) of Georgetown and Christie Marth (Joseph) of Millsboro; as well as two sisters, Margaret Jones (Larry) and Bobbie Troxel (Tommy) of Florida.
