Dayna W. (Cobb) Shewmaker

Dayna Shewmaker, 75, loving wife of Jerry Shewmaker for 56 years, entered her heavenly home on Thursday Sept. 5, 2024.  She was born March 10, 1949, to the late Eulan and Helen Razor Cobb, being one of their three children. Dayna wore many hats being a wife, mother, and grandmother. She also held positions at TJ Tax, Asbury Seminary, County Clerk Roger Williams, and Jessamine County Board of Education.  She included in her busy life a love for camping, fishing at Weis Lake, horses, daily walks at Lake Mingo and cleaning up Tommy’s Barn at Little Hickman. Dayna was accused of spoiling Jerry’s dog Addy, as well as leaving many pieces of advice to her son and daughter, such as: “ If you are going to fight go outside I just mopped this kitchen”!  She leaves these and many more memories with her husband Jerry and daughter Kara Weatherly, husband Vincent, son John Shewmaker, wife Tiffany, and grandchildren Westyn and Davyn Shewmaker, Tori Clay and Joseph Weatherly, as well as her sister Kim Cobb and brother Rodger Cobb. Dayna had many nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends who will miss her humorous personality.  A Remembrance Service will be held Tuesday, Sept. 10, 12:30 PM at  Hager & Cundiff Funeral Home with Brother Bill Bales officiating.  Burial will follow at Camp Nelson National Cemetery.  Honoring her as pallbearers will be Vincent Weatherly, Alan Crank, George Frazier, Bobby Shewmaker, Jr., David Shewmaker, and Chris Shewmaker. Honorary bearers will be Richard Horton, Westyn and Davyn Shewmaker, Joseph Weatherly and Jimmy Day.

The family will receive friends on Monday evening beginning at 4:00 PM and ending at 8:00 PM Monday September 9.  Donations may be made in her memory to Bethel Christian Church Bldg. Fund,1126 Bethel Rd, Nicholasville, KY 40356

“When tomorrow comes without me, don’t think we’re far apart. Every time you think of me I’ll be right here inside your heart.”  All arrangements are under the direction of Hager & Cundiff Funeral Home and we would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the Shewmaker family and friends.
