Finis Martin Hewitt

Finis Martin Hewitt, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and dedicated member of his community, passed away peacefully on July 18, 2025, in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Born on May 18, 1929, in Peewee Valley, Kentucky, Finis lived a life marked by hard work, quiet service, and a willingness to help others.

Finis spent his professional career at Indiana Bell/AT&T, where he worked his way to construction supervisor. His commitment to excellence, reliability, and integrity left a lasting impression on those around him and earned him the respect of colleagues throughout his career.

Earlier in life, Finis served in the United States Army as part of the intelligence corps.

Finis was a devoted family man. He is survived by his loving wife, Sandra Lorraine Hewitt, daughter, Linda E. (Timothy) Morris, son, Phillip Lee (Christia) Hewitt, grandchildren, Lauren Morris, step-grandchildren Christapher (Alyssa) Willett and Bradly (Jamie) Willett, step-great-grandchildren Jane, Austin, and Calvin Willett, along with several nieces, nephews, and cousins. The warmth and love he shared with his family brought him immense joy.

Outside of work and family, Finis found meaning in his spiritual life and his community. He was an active member of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, where he participated in the Kingdom Ministry and volunteered on the Hospital Liaison Committee. His quiet commitment to his beliefs and to helping others left a lasting impact.

He also enjoyed working with his hands and often volunteered his construction skills to help others. He was known for his generosity and gentle spirit-and for always having Kit-Kat close by.

Finis was preceded in death by his son, Michael D. Hewitt, his parents, Abel Neely and Martha Hewitt, and his six siblings. His legacy of service, love, and quiet strength lives on in the many lives he touched.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, August 23, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, with a memorial service following at 1:00 PM, at Newcomer Funeral Home, Southern Indiana, located at 3309 Ballard Ln, New Albany, IN 47150.

The family requests that contributions in Finis’s memory be made to the World Wide Work of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
