Jewell Brown Benton, 98 years of old, passed from this life on March 31, 2006. Cremation was handled by Major Family Funeral Home, Springfield, Oregon. Memorial and burial will be handled by Ralls Cemetery, Ralls, Texas.
Jewell was born in Altus, Oklahoma but lived the majority of her life in West Texas. She married Parks H. Benton on May 12, 1928. She is preceded in death by her husband; daughter; granddaughter; and grandson. Jewell was employed by Milam�s Toyland and Blue Bonnet Laundry. She will be remembered for her hand made quilts and her family's favorite, apple pie.
To say she is missed is too inadequate a word. To say she was loved and is remembered every single day is but stating the obvious. She lives in our memory and in the lives of those left behind.
Jewell is survived by sons, Haldane of Lubbock, Gene with wife, Sue, of Springfield, Oregon; nine grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and ten great great-grandchildren.
A memorial service will be planned in early summer for burial beside her husband in Ralls Cemetery.
