James Allen Munro

April 21, 2021

James Allen Munro, 83, passed away on Wednesday, April 21, 2021. He was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on November 5, 1937, the third son of Kenneth and Edythe Munro. “Jim” went to many schools in both Maryland and Pennsylvania.

After retiring, Jim began acting in several theatre groups including the Fulton, Ephrata Playhouse in the Park, Maranatha Productions, Lampeter Church of the Brethren Plays, Downingtown Dinner Theater, and Freedom Chapel Dinner Theatre.
