Jewell worked for Remote Control of Mishawaka for many years before retiring. She also worked for Burcliff Industries. She was a member of Southside General Baptist Church, Mishawaka. She will be remembered for her love of family and her great ability to cook. Words cannot describe the care and kindness she gave her family and everyone she knew or met. Jewel was always concerned more about others than herself. Even in failing health, she still made her phone calls checking on family and friends. She was truly the BEST mother. We will greatly miss her.
