Jewel lived in Olathe for forty four years. One of her favorite areas of ministry was being a greeter at College Church. She was a lifelong member of The Church of the Nazarene.
Jewel worked many jobs throughout her life. She was an office clerk for Farmer's Union Coop, she was a cook for the Olathe School District, and an assembly line worker at Hisonic until her retirement.
Those of us who shared her life will miss her greatly.
