Heaven gained another angel last night. Jewly unexpectedly passed away, leaving behind her wonderful wife of over 20 years Michelle and their three sons. Their youngest boys are going to be in 7th and 8th grade this upcoming school year.

I created this fundraiser to help raise money primarily for her kids, but it may also be used for funeral expenses and bills during this tough time. All money will go directly to her family.

Jewly has always been a selfless person. Her and Michelle are proud to have been foster parents for years. Jewly has also been a first grade teacher since 2006, she has been at Zuni Hills since 2012. Her students and their parents love her so much and she has made an impact on so many lives while doing what she loves. She was always so positive and would remember the names of your entire family to ask about each time she saw you. You couldn’t help but smile and laugh in presence of Jewly, her attitude was contagious.

Here are some words from her brother Shane, they were extremely close:

“Well I'm in disbelief and shock right now,but I just recently loss my sister Jewly Beckelhimer .She had such an amazing heart and touched anyone she came in contact with and impacted alot of folks lives. You will be missed my Dear sister Always watching over me Please keep all our families as well in your thoughts and prayers as this time is tough for all of us. Only to know that our sovereign God has us wrapped around his arms we will soon be joining them for that final party RIP my beautiful sister ✝️“

and from her niece Elizabeth:

“My heart is so heartbroken right now I just can’t believe it… I just can’t comprehend you’re actually gone. I love you so much Aunt Jewly Beckelhimer You had a heart of gold and I just know you’re shining bright in heaven with Papu ❤️

Love, lizbom ”

There is also a meal train for Michelle and the kids, please message Shane or Elizabeth on Facebook if you want to sign up to send them a meal on door dash or cook for them as part of that.
