She was a born-again child of God and dearly loved Jesus. For many years, she sang in the Choir at First Baptist Church, Valparaiso, and also served in various roles through the WMU. She certainly loved her present church family at Rosemont Baptist Church in Niceville and loved being with them whenever possible.
She especially loved spending time with her family and dearly loved each one of them. She was a great cook and among the family favorites was her tomato gravy, potato salad, and banana pudding!
Jewel stayed at home raising three boys in the early years of her marriage to Roy and later was employed at Piggly Wiggly in Niceville and Vanguard Bank in Valparaiso.
In lieu of flowers, the family would ask that you give to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering through Rosemont Baptist Church.
