the love of her life, Earl William Davis on January 19, 1938 in Bon Wier, Texas.

Jewel would answer to anyone that called her “Grandma” or “Memaw”, even if you weren’t one of hers, and she was the best Grandma ever! She wasn't monetarily well off, but had the richest soul of any, great sense of humor, loved to visit anyone that would stop by, and would play any board game we put in front of her with a smile. She absolutely loved her dog, Angel. Angel was her most special companion in the world, and before her it was her poodle, Holly. Friendly, kind, and turned away no stranger to feed. She was Pentecostal and a very Christian lady. She had more Pride than anyone I ever knew and although she was a Christian, whatever gift she was given she would display proudly, so long as it was appropriate, and would make sure to tell which kid or grandkid gave it to her.
