Obituary For Harold Cy Jewell
Harold Cy Jewell, 96 of Bowie, TX, went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, March 8th, 2022.
Funeral service will take place at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, March 14th, at the First Baptist Church of Bowie, with Pastor Mike Henson officiating.
Burial will follow at Elmwood Cemetery in Bowie.
Family will receive friends from 2 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, March 13th, at the White Family Funeral Home in Bowie.
Harold was born April 2, 1925 on Granfield, OK to Frank Sr. and Ruby (Suitor) Jewell. Harold married his sweetheart, Juanita Cox on August 20, 1948, in Denver City, TX, where he worked for Service Pipeline. He stayed with the same company for 46 years.
Harold was a gentle soul who was a family man through and through. He enjoyed the outdoors and loved to keep his yards and gardens green and flourishing. Not a man of many words, but he said many times that he learned more by listening. His 6 grandchildren have many precious memories of spending the summer time with ”Papa and Grandma” at the lake, which has resulted in each following generation coming to “Papa and Grandma’s”.
He is preceded in death by his parents, his wife Juanita Jewell and daughter-in-law Beth Jewell.
Harold is survived by his daughter Patti Glass and husband Kenneth of Bowie; son Larry Jewell of Irving, TX; 6 grandchildren Chris Glass and wife Beckey, Phillip Glass and wife Maggie, Scott Glass and wife Jennifer, Audrey Canady and husband Greg, Matt Jewell and wife Patti and Kyle Jewell and wife Jenny; great-grandchildren Jessie Glass, Joshua Glass, Ian Mixon, Taylor Mixon, Kendell Hayward, Ethan Glass, Carter Glass, Zachary Canady, Ryan Canady, Logan Canady, Piper Canady, Hudson Jewell, Hendricks Jewell, Kyle Benson, Kate Benson, Lake Jewell and Lydia Jewell; and great-great-grandchildren Kason Glass, Titus Glass, Leighton Mixon and Lorelai Harvey.
Arrangements entrusted to the White Family Funeral Home of Bowie, TX.

Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceThe first time I met Mr. Jewell was July 4th weekend of 2005. I was dating his only granddaughter(my wife of 16 years) and she brought me out to the family gathering at the lake in Bowie. When we drove up, he was the first person I met and we shook hands and exchanged pleasantries, however I was distracted by the massive school of white bass boiling off his dock. I cut our first meeting short and apologized to him, but I told him I needed to get my fishing pole out of the car immediately. He just laughed. I have never caught as many fish as I did that day. Later in the year I found myself back out at the lake during Hurricane Rita. We had left the Houston area to escape the storm and spent a week in Bowie. Mr. Jewell told me that he had an armadillo problem and to shoot them if I saw one at the lake. One night my wife and nephew were sitting on the porch at the lake when the armadillo came out. He was within 10 feet and I didn't have the heart to shoot the thing, so I let him get out about 40 yards before shooting him with my shotgun. The armadillo jumped about 5 feet in the air upon contact and ran off into the woods. Mr. Jewell would tease me every time he saw me about missing that armadillo. He never let me forget either. He was a great man. Glad I was able to know him and be part of the family. - Greg Canady
