Jewel Nash Obituary

It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of Jewel Normarene Nash, born on August 22, 1927, in Butler County, Kentucky. Jewel was a great soul, a radiant beacon of love and warmth, leaving an indelible imprint on the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her.

Jewel, a devoted homemaker, was the embodiment of unconditional love and wisdom, consistently putting the needs of her family before her own. She lived her life with grace and dignity, always demonstrating the power of kindness and compassion. Jewel's home was a haven that overflowed with love, and laughter. Her children Kay White (Dannie), of New Albany, Roger Nash (Beverly), of Georgetown, IN. and son-in-law Linden McLellan, of Prospect, Kentucky, along with her grandchildren, Julie Turner, Leigh Dilling, Andy Nash, Nick White, Pam Newman, Jeff McLellan, and Wendy Newell, will forever hold dear memories of her nurturing spirit and her unwavering dedication to them. Jewel was also survived by 15 Great-grandchildren and 3 great-great grandchildren of whom she was very proud.

Jewel was predeceased by her parents, Hobert and Ada Imogene (Turner)Embry, her beloved husband, James Nash, and her dear daughters, Fay Elliott and Betty McLellan. Jewel's legacy of love and resilience will continue to live on in her family, inspiring them to carry forward her values of unity, kindness, and love for one another.
