so sorry for your loss
Jewel was a dear sweet lady and will be missed. She always had us laughing at the Women\’s church gatherings. She knew my mother Lillie Mae, and whenever I saw Jewel she would reminisce about when my mom and her were children and later worked together at Corning. I was glad to meet up with her when I started going to Cornerstone and hear her stories. Prayers to the family during this time, but I know she is rejoicing with the Lord and I believe has met up with my mom to retell those stories! God bless.

Prayers for her family.
What a wonderful lady! I was a young foreman at the Corning Glass Plant in Danville and Jewel was one of my favorites In the Diode Department. I moved away in 1971, never had contact with her again and all of a sudden her name flashed into my mind. I did s search to find she had just passed a few months ago. Hugs to you Jewel and Rest In Peace.
