Jewell was a staunch member of the Faith Baptist Church of Meridian and was a staunch member of the Truth Seekers Sunday School class. She was also very active in the ESP group in Faith. Jewell enjoyed working with Atlanta’s Operation Christmas Shoebox distribution center every year for as long as her health allowed. Coming from humble beginnings, she and her husband made their home in Philadelphia, before moving to Meridian in 1958. After moving, she enjoyed caring for her family and together with her husband, James, taught school at the Sunday at State Blvd Baptist Church. After retirement, they enjoyed working on their farm in Leake County and traveling to see family and friends. She was a talented cook and was renowned for her caramel and strawberry cakes. She also loved tending to her flower gardens and taking care of her garden. She will be remembered for her strength and dedication to her Lord, to her Church, to her family and to her friends.

Billy Adam), Matthew Sistrunk (Erika) and Caleb Courvelle (Rachel); 14 great-grandchildren; one sister, Ruth Wall, as well as a host of nieces, nephews and extended family members.

The Sistrunk family suggests that memorials be made in the form of donations to the Samaritan purse instead of flowers.
