Jewell Faye Riddle, age 89, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 29, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of warmth and kindness. Jewell walked through life with a gentle strength, touching the lives of everyone she encountered with unforgettable grace. 
Born in Adare, Oklahoma to Hack Ramsey and Berta (Ramsey) Jones, Jewell was the eldest of three children. She was a headstrong child with a caring nature and curious spirit. As an adult, Jewell cared for the elderly as a CNA at Dinuba Convalescent Center for over 10 years. While working full time she returned to school and obtained her LVN license. Jewell spent another 30 plus years dedicating her caring nature and loving spirit to every patient under her care at Sierra Kings Hospital in Reedley, CA. 

In addition to being a dedicated nurse, Jewell was the literal heartbeat of her family and friends.

Jewell enjoyed spending as much time as possible with her large family. She hosted countless Thanksgiving dinners, Christmas holidays, Easter celebrations, 4th of July BBQs, family reunions, and weekend afternoon get-togethers. Everyone was always welcome at her table, and her family always held a special place in her heart. 

After her retirement, Jewell enjoyed playing Bingo, often accompanied by her granddaughters Shannon Lanser & Shawna Quillin or her neighborhood friends. She also enjoyed a competitive game of rummy and an occasional trip to the casino. Jewell loved traveling to Arkansas to visit her extended family as well.
