Jewel was born at home in Jones County to the late Homer and Princess Chiles.  She was a graduate of Jones County High School and a faithful member of Haddock Baptist Church.  Jewel was very active and artistic. She was an excellent seamstress who sewed all her own clothes.  Jewel loved country music and enjoyed traveling to music venues throughout the Southeastern states to see her favorite artists.  Jewel worked for many years as a clerk at Robins Air Force Base, but her most important work was as a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother.
