Jewel married Paul Bailey on June 17, 1948. Their marriage was later solemnized and their family sealed together in the Manti Utah Temple.

Jewel was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and enjoyed serving in many church callings including Stake and Ward Relief Society President and in the Manti Utah Temple. She had a strong testimony of and love for our Savior Jesus Christ.

Her greatest joy was spending time with her family. She loved each of them dearly and up until her passing could tell you the names and recent events of each of the more than 140 members of her posterity. Throughout her life she attended literally thousands of ball games, performances, and celebrations of her family. She was very proud of her Irish heritage through her mother’s O’Leary family line. She loved and served her family and community throughout her life.

She is survived by her children, Paula (Mark) Jorgenson, David (Eddi) Bailey, Brent (Anita) Bailey, and son-in-law Dan Sperry, Moroni; Gay (Scott) Aagard, Fountain Green; Bruce (Sheila) Bailey, St George; her brother, Perry (Adella) Bruno, Salt Lake City; 24 grandchildren, 65 great-grandchildren, and 9 great-great-grandchildren.
