Our loving mother, sister, grandmother, great- grandmother, and great-great- grandmother passed away of natural causes one day shy of her 99th birthday. Jewell was born in Cowlington, Oklahoma where she grew up with her 1 brother and 2 sisters. This is also where she met her husband, Troy. They were married in 1927 and enjoyed fifty-four years together. With six children in tow, Jewell and her family moved to Kern County during the Grapes of Wrath era. Jewell was a homemaker and loved cooking and taking care of her family. She enjoyed crocheting, fishing, and playing cards. She was also a die-hard Laker and Dodger fan. Jewell will be remembered for her strength. Even through the hardships of losing her husband, 3 children, and 2 grandchildren, Jewell persevered, living independently until she was 94 years old. Her last years were spent under the loving care of the staff at Evergreen Nursing Home. Special thanks to Mrs. Daniels.
