She was a member of the First Christian Church.
Jewell was preceded in death by her parents; her first husband, Foss Dold; second husband, Dale Vaughn; and siblings, Mildred Carr, Clara Faye Howell, Jean Jacobs, Hartie Mae Knight, Denzel Collings and Donald Collings.
She is survived by a very loving family that includes her daughter, Ann Hembree and husband Larry of Tahlequah; brother, Darrel Collings and wife Loma of Tulsa; grandchildren, Tracy Adams, Foix Stauss III and wife Shanna, Andi Hembree, Chris Hembree, Casey Hembree; five great grandchildren, Lauren Adams, Bo Adams, Megan Adams, Dylan Adams and Alice Jewell Stauss; one great-great-granddaughter, Averi Sherrell; several nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends also survive her.
The family would like to thank the staff of Go Ye Village for the great care and love they showed to Jewell during the last five years.
