Jewel Turley passed away April 14, 2026, and was born Feb 26, 1934, to Cecil and Lona Harrison in Arkansas. As a young girl the family moved to the Snowflake area and she attended school in Shumway, Taylor and graduated from Snowflake High. In 1958, she married Theodore Turley. They immediately formed a family because Jewel had two sons, Bill and Dale, from a previous marriage. Their family continued to grow with the addition of Tamra, Anthony and Steven. The family lived in Holbrook and Taylor before settling in Snowflake.
Ted and Jewel enjoyed square dancing, bowling and most of all, family activities. She served in the temple for many years with Ted and continued for many years after his passing. One of the things she enjoyed most in her later years was getting together with her gang of seniors, playing cards, walking and exercising. Jewel was very devoted to her family, extended family, and to serving in the church.
She is survived by Bill and Alea Turley, Pam Lusk Turley, Tammy and James Nuttall, and Tony and Deena Turley; 31 grandchildren, 40 great-grandchildren and 20 great-great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Ted; sons, Dale and Steve; and daughter-in-law Cricket.
Graveside services will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 18, at the Snowflake Cemetery.
Owens Livingston Mortuary of Snowflake handled the arrangements.
