Jewel Brown

With much love spread and many memories shared, our beloved Jewel accepted her angel's invitation into the kingdom on Tuesday, November 11, 2025 at Penn Medical in New Jersey. As a result, our hearts are less bright but we know the heavens are filled with extra doses of love, joy, peace and laughter.

Jewel Violet, born Saturday, June 6, 1925 in Cedar Grove, Texas. She was the 4th of 9 children born to Alis Washington Sr. and Edna Washington.

Jewel Violet moved to New York City as a young adult, working her entire professional career in medicine from a entry level Care Giver to retiring as a Operating Room Nurse Technician. Jewel was on the first team at Kings County Hospital, in NYC to perform successful Open Heart Surgery.

Mother Jewel Brown loved God, The Lord Jesus Chri'st and a Christian life. She loved people and wanted to be a Mother to everyone she met.

As a member of several church groups, it was her pleasure to assist in preparing younger women for positions of leadership within the church community. If you enjoyed conversations with Mother Brown, spending time with her, you would learn something about God and his blessings. Two of her favorite verses are: #1 -LET GO AND LET GOD. #2 -THIS TOO SHALL PASS.

She was preceded in death by her husband Otis Brown; her youngest daughter Althea Dasilva.

Jewel's memory will be cherished and forever remembered by her two daughters, a total of twelve children, grandchildren, great grandchildren; and a great-great grandchild and many nephews and nieces whom she loved very much; one sister Otha Washington; a sister-in-law Judy Washington.
