Billy Frank Landrum

Billy Frank Landrum, age 73, of Cromwell, Indiana passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, April 26, 2023 at home. He was born on February 24, 1950 the son of Daniel Hermon and Rena Eugene (Adcock) Landrum in Magee, Mississippi.

Billy served his country honorably in the United States Army for 17 years achieving the rank of E-6. He was a sniper in Vietnam and also served on the military honors detail. After his time in the service, he lived an interesting life to say the least, from working in the oil fields, as a carpenter, a long haul truck driver, and a bull rider. Billy was a real character, enjoyed hunting, fishing, and loved to barter! It wasn’t any surprise when he once managed to trade five goats for an Arabian thoroughbred horse. True story…  On March 17, 2000, he married his last wife, and the love of his life, Rebecca Coplin at a surprise wedding.

He is survived by his wife of 23 years, Rebecca Landrum of Cromwell; five children, Christie, Daniel, Jim (Kaylene), Chris (Jack), and Rachel (Tony); 13 grandchildren and 3.5 great-grandchildren; and three siblings, Hazel Cummings, Betty Jones, & Pauline Anderson.
