Jewell Christine Martin passed from this Earth into the arms of Jesus on October 1, 2019.
Jewell was called by many names - Billie, Mom, Mamaw, Mrs. Martin - and she was loved by many people. She was born on May 18, 1930 in Washington County, TN. She married John M. Martin on August 7, 1950 and together they raised three children, Patricia, Kathy, and Tim.
