Jewel graduated from Hampton High School in 1972.

Jewel was an extremely thoughtful, kind person always willing to lend a helping hand to all. She was always looking for things to make someone’s day bright, even the smallest token like a card to say she was thinking of you. Jewel enjoyed traveling having recently gone to Mozambique, a trip of a lifetime, for a convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses, and for hopes of riding an elephant. Also, her recent family trip to New York, and her annual excursion to Gap Mills, WV for the Wickline Reunion.
