Obituary

Conwell Foreman, ("Midnight Cowboy") 91, transitioned peacefully on January 23, 2025, at his home, surrounded by his loving family. He was born March 20, 1933, in Newark, Maryland to the late Margie and Harry Foreman. He received his formal education in the Worcester County Public Schools. He served in the United States Army and received an Honorable Discharge April 1953.

After serving his Country for eight years, he became gainfully employed at: Worcester County Fertilizer in Snow Hill, Maryland as a laborer, Dixie Supply, Salisbury Maryland as a delivery truck driver, Perdue Farms, Incorporated, Salisbury Maryland, as a long-distance truck driver for several years. He later became self-employed as the owner of C & M Poultry and C & M Trucking. Conwell was a faithful member of St. James A.M.E. Zion Church. He received the National Defense Service and Good Conduct Medals during his duty in the Army. He was also a member of Free and Accepted Masons (F.&A.M.).

Conwell, also known as "Midnight Cowboy," to his trucking friends, enjoyed servicing and maintaining his trucks, and working in his yard. He was a true "Jokester," making people laugh and a "Social Butterfly; never meeting a stranger. When the question was asked of him, "How are you doing?" He answered, "I'm kicking but, not high." The fondest memory and masterpiece will never be forgotten; his Toothpick that was always positioned neatly on the left-side of his mouth.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Margie and Harry, sons; Maurice Sr. and Kevin, Sr., daughter; Carolyn and son-in law, Samuel Everett, brother; Harry Jr., and sister; Claudia Griffin. Conwell leaves cherished and loving memories with his devoted wife of 68 years, Mable, son; Jeffrey (Odena), daughter; Cynthia, ten grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren, two God daughters, special family friends; Kenneth Thompson and Charles Jackson, several nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family, and friends.
