Jewell B. Easley
d. July 17, 2015
Jewell Bernice Easley passed away on July 17, 2015, with loved ones by her side.
Jewell was born on March 7, 1919 in Jasper, Alabama. In 1938 she married David M. Hester, who died in 1943. She was predeceased by her son Malcolm and her husband Eric Easley.
Jewell lived in many places throughout her long and good life including Alabama, Rhode Island, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Utah, Florida and Virginia. Notably, during WW II she was employed at Boeing in Seattle, Washington. Among other things she was employed in the garment trade as a manager and buyer mainly for Lerner Shops.
In 2002, following the death of her husband, she moved to Lynchburg where she remained until her death. She moved to Lynchburg to be with her son Malcolm, who unfortunately died from cancer in 2007. Following his death she chose to remain in Lynchburg because of the many friends and loved ones she had come to know.
Among those friends were, Ave Connealy and her husband Denny. Ave was a close friend, companion and caregiver, particularly during these last days of her life. Another of these friends was Robin Roudin, her neighbor, companion, and supporter, who she considered to be another of her grandchildren. Her friends also included “the girls at Willowbrook,” who are Robin, Dee, Sharon, and Kathy; Shirley, Keith and Ashley Cox; Lloyd and Robbie Parker and their children. Of special note is the attention and caring she received from the maintenance crew at Willowbrook Apartments.
Jewell is survived by her son, Samuel Hester and his wife Nancy; the widow of her son Malcolm, Ruth and her husband Jack Cibrian; grandchildren Debe` Turnbull, David Hester, Julie Janowicz and Alex Hester; five great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.
A special acknowledgment goes to the staff at the Seven Hills Hospice House who provided loving care for the last days of her life.
There are no calling hours. A graveside service will be held on August 1st at 11:00 a.m. at Fort Hill Memorial Park, followed by a reception at the Willowbrook Community Center. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Calvary Chapel, 742 Leesville Road, Lynchburg, VA 24502; the Lynchburg Humane Society; or Hospice & Palliative Care, New Hartford, NY.
