Obituary
On June 29, 1952, Jewell was united in marriage to John Jay Grasmick in Omaha, to this union four children were born, Amy, John, Ann and William (Billy). Jewell was a homemaker most of her life, but later in life she worked at the Nebraska Domestic Crisis Center in Crete. She also managed the Seward-Dowding Pool and volunteered at the Seward Library for several years. She loved knitting, sewing and enjoyed making quilts. Her quilts were given as gifts, going as far as Brazil and Poland. Jewell was a sports enthusiast and loved watching Nebraska baseball where she was a longtime season ticket holder. She loved watching Family Feud and Jeopardy and her family knew better than to interrupt her during the shows. After John passed away Jewell learned how to play poker and she also played in three bridge clubs. Jewell always wanted to go to Alaska and finally did so in 2015. She was also able to go to Colorado just last week to see her close friends. Jewell was a longtime member of the Seward United Methodist Church where she folded bulletins every week.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Harry and Nell Hagel; husband, John (2007); son, William (1999); daughter, Amy Terrell (2011); brothers, Robert and Paul Holbrook; twin sister, Joanne Borchman.
Jewell is survived by her son, John Grasmick and wife Diana Wright, Garland; daughter, Ann Grasmick, Seward; six grandchildren, Jake Grasmick and fiancé Rebekah Manz, Margaret and husband John David Cahoon, Sam Gaskins, Megan Grasmick, David Grasmick and Kelsey Wolf. To this obituary we add our thoughts, prayers and memories of a life shared with Jewell.
