She was preceded in death by her husband of 38 years, Idell Daugherty and one infant sibling. Jewell was a beloved member of the Wilmar community where she retired from Wilmar School District and was a life-long member of Andrews Chapel Methodist Church in the Barkada community. She lived most of her life in the Wilmar Community until she was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder. After her diagnosis, she moved to Benton to be closer to her one and only child, Ronald to receive more specialized treatment.
She is survived by her son, Ronald Daugherty and wife Kaye of Benton; two sisters, Rena May Simmons of Pine Bluff and Helen Rose Ross and husband Carroll of Monticello; one brother, Carl "Buddy" Nelson and wife Louise of Crossett; six grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren, all of whom she dearly loved.
