GWEN JEWELL
Gwendoline Jewell, 88, formerly of Appleton, died on
Dec. 22, 2003, at Evergreen Care Facility in The Dalles, Ore.
Mrs. Jewell was born July 4, 1915, in Suffolk County,
Eng-land, to Edward and Minnie (Scott) Leach. After her school years, she
worked at Brentwood Golf Club until World War II when she served the war
effort as a nurse's aid at an orphanage in London. In 1950, she came to the
United States to visit her sister Betty in Appleton, and while there met
Lester Jewell. In 1952, she returned to the United States and married Lester
and lived in Appleton where they raised their family.
Mr. Jewell always wanted to move to Alaska and home-stead,
but after moving from England, Mrs. Jewell felt that living in Appleton was
close enough to homesteading for the Jewell family. After his death in 1987,
Mrs. Jewell moved to Cherry Heights Retirement Center in The Dalles, where
she lived out her remaining years.
While in The Dalles, Mrs. Jewell followed her father
by attending St. Paul's Episcopal Church. She was very active in the Appleton
Women's Club and later in the consolidated Lyle-Appleton Women's
Club.
She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and
family. She will be fondly remembered for her warm and loving heart, her
patience and understanding, and her consideration for others.
Surviving Mrs. Jewell are sons Gary Jewell, Appleton,
and Cliff, White Salmon; daughter Carol Jewell, Anchor-age, Alaska; sister
Betty Tuthill, Lyle; brothers Les, Ken and Roy in England; grandsons Justin
Maupin, Hiisboro, Ore., and Jeff Jewell, Spokane; granddaughter Cindy Jewell,
Lynwood; and great-grandsons Skyler and Mason Maupin, Hiisboro. She was preceded
in death by her husband Lester, brothers Jack, Reggie and Cliff, and sister
Mabel.
A funeral service was held on Saturday, Dec. 27, 2003,
at 1 p.m. at Gardner Chapel in White Salmon. Vault interment followed at
Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Appleton.
Memorials may be made to the Lyle Lions Club in care
of Gardner Funeral Home, PO Box 390, White Salmon, Wash. 98672, who handled
arrangements.
