December 26, 1938 - February 26, 2024
Frances Jean “Jeanne” (Diamond) Williams, age 85, of New Castle, DE, passed away on Monday, February 26, 2024.
Born in Washington D.C. on December 26, 1938, she was a daughter of the late Sidney Diamond and Frances (Biancey) Diamond. Jeanne spent her youth in Daytona Beach, FL where she was a champion swimmer. She loved the sea, was a certified scuba diver, and always enjoyed a day of fishing. Jeanne held those memories in her heart all of her life. She prided herself in being self-sufficient and independent. Jeanne owned her own plasterware business at the New Castle Farmers Market and then pursued a career as a veterinary technician. She spent many years as a vet tech, a job she truly loved.
In addition to her parents, Jeanne was preceded in death by her three children, Eugene Rodowicz, Jesse Rodowicz, and Joanne Fromal. She is survived by her sister, Bettysue D. Maliszewski (Nick); nephew, Neil Maliszewski; grandsons, Donald Fromal, Jesse Fromal, James Fromal, and Jason Rodowicz; and many great-grandchildren.
A private burial will be held at a later date in Cathedral Cemetery.

Rest easy. Just discovered that I am distantly related. Her mother was a sister to my grandmother I never knew, Rosina. She passed days after giving birth to her youngest, my beloved Uncle Joey who was the last of her children to pass. So by blood, Jeanne was my second my second cousin. She sounds like she was a strong, independent woman. My condolences to her family, along with prayers for peace.

Cousin Jeanne, I’m so sorry I lost touch through the years, family should always stay together. I remember her smile and laugh so well. My mother, Mary Morales, loved her Aunt Francis and her Cousin Jeanne so much. My sincere condolences to Jeanne’s family at this terribly sad time.
