Jewel Brown was born in Zionsville, Indiana, the second daughter of Ernest and Ruth Brown. A few years later her mother remarried and a brother joined the family.
After Jewel finished high school the family moved to Indianapolis, where she attended College and received both BS and MA degrees from Butler University. Her undergraduate major was accounting and during the time between the degrees she worked in the accounting department of Eli Lilly for eight years. In her senior year at Butler she took two elective Bible courses, which sparked an interest in biblical studies.
She attended East Tenth Street Methodist Church in Indianapolis and it was there that her spiritual life began to develop, and she experienced a call from God to full-time church related service. She then enrolled in Butler's School of Religion and later attended Boston University School of Theology and Brandeis University. She became a Deaconess in 1961 and a Diaconal Minister in 1977.
Her first job in God's service was as a parish visitor at her church while she attended seminary. After further study she taught at Sue Bennett College in London, Kentucky for twenty-seven years, and two years at Holding Institute in Lorado, Texas. She taught mainly biblical studies and Principles of Accounting.
Jewel moved to Brooks-Howell Home in 1992 and became active in the life of Brooks-Howell, Groce United Methodist Church, and the Asheville Community, volunteering many years with ABCCM (Asheville Buncombe Community Christian Ministry).
With a lovely soprano voice, she participated in the coir at her church as well as the Brooks-Howell choir. She was also an artist and a poet.
She is survived by her brother, William Borden, and his wife of Hanover, Indiana, and a sister, Thelma Glover, of Lebanon, Indiana.
A Morning Prayer
Oh, God, you have made this day as a day to rejoice and be glad. You are here, all around me, and I know that I cannot go far from You. no matter what happens today!
I reach out to you with my mind and heart and ask that Your Spirit may enter mine.
Create in me now a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me so that I may be an instrument of your peace.
You made the mountains, hills, level plains, and valleys--I see You in the beauty of the earth– and I rejoice!
In many ways You are a mystery to me, and yet, somehow I am aware of Your presence, and Your peace settles around and within me.
I touch but the hem of Your garment and am cleansed, forgiven, and made ready for today!
Tbank you, God. Amen
–Jewel Brown
Lord, You have been our dwelling place all of our life: and Your steadfast love endures forever, but we did not always know it.
We are always in Your care–You never slumber nor sleep;
We give thanks to You, Oh God.
