NORFOLK - Following a long illness, Mrs. Jewel Legon Bass was set free to enter

Jewel was a longtime resident of Norfolk, having moved to Tidewater after

children were born of which three remain. 

Jewel was born May 9, 1927, in Nashville, Tenn., to the late Marshall E. and

young child and was a faithful member of the Sylvan Street Baptist Church in 
Nashville where she often played piano. 

Upon moving to Norfolk, Jewel was a devoted wife to Herbert and mother to their 
four children. She was a member of the United Order of Tents, star of the East 
Tent No. 6. She willingly volunteered her time as both secretary and treasurer 
to the local chapter for more than 20 years. 

She was proceeded in death by her husband, Herbert; son, William; and brother, 
Marshall. Jewel is survived by her three daughters, Cheryl Bass -Fitzhugh, 
Janice Spruell and husband Alphonzo, all of Hampton, and Pamela Bass of Norfolk. 
She is also survived by her sister, Ann L. Coke and Rose L. Merritt; seven 
grandchildren, Juanita, Benita, Kellye, Gerard, William, Madeleine, and and 
Anthony; two great-granddaughters; and a host of nieces and nephews. 

The family would like to thank the caring staff of Heritage Hall Nursing Home

Chapel, 1631 Church St., Norfolk.
