http://www.sturgisjournal.com/obituaries/x282372641/Jewel-G-Roth
Jewel G. Roth, age
79, of Marion, Ind., died on Thursday evening, Oct. 9, 2008, at the Marion
Manor Nursing Home after an extended illness. She was born in South Lebanon,
Ohio, on Feb. 17, 1929, a daughter of the late Oscar and Elizabeth (Gildea)
Blankenship. Jewel graduated from Marion Harding High School in the class of 1947.
While in high school she worked for the Bowe’s Ice Cream Shop. After
graduation, she was employed by the Sinclair Oil Company as a
stenographer. Once Jewel started a family she took on the role of a
loving homemaker.
As a young teenager, Jewel’s family
moved to Marion, where she became very involved in the First Church of the
Nazarene. It was there that she met Lawrence E. Roth and where they were
married on June 4, 1949. They shared 46 years before his passing on
August 3, 1995. Jewel was devoted to serving her Lord and her
church, active in the Missionary Society, teaching Sunday school for more than
30 years and singing in the church choir. Jewel and
Lawrence spent several mission trips in Central America and the Caribbean
helping to build churches and orphanages.
Traveling across the United States, Jewel and
her husband were able to visit every state except Hawaii, as well as much of
Canada. She delighted in growing bumper crops and vegetables in her garden,
canning the produce, and sharing with friends and neighbors. Being crafty with
a needle, Jewel made clothes for the family and was a master of cross
stitching. Lawrence always said proudly,
“Jewel’s particular,” but that was just fine by him
because he knew things would be done right.
Jewel will be
missed by her daughter, Kathleen (Dwight) Williams of Marion and their
children, Anne (Ben) Lloyd of Columbus and Laura Williams of Bloomington, Ind.;
her daughter, Beth (Gary) Bond of Sturgis, Mich., and their children, Julie
(Chris) Martin of Washington, D.C., and Joy (Steve Lung) Bond of Florida; her
son, Dale E. Roth of Marion, and his children, Aaron (Leah) Roth of Georgia and
Ashley (Tim) White of Columbus; four brothers, Patrick, Charles (Patricia), Carroll, and David Blankenship,
all of Marion; her sister, June (Floyd) Webb of Florida; two
