Formerly of La Grande
1931-2002
The Rev. Paul Orlando Jewell , 71, of Salem and formerly of La Grande died Dec. 9. The funeral will begin at 1 p.m. Saturday at the First United Methodist Church in Salem.
The Rev. Jewell was born May 22, 1931. In 1953 he graduated from Willamette University, where he played football and became a lifelong sports enthusiast. He earned degrees in divinity and theology from Garrett Theological School at Northwestern University and New College Seminary in Edinburgh, Scotland. He served as a United Methodist minister for 39 years in churches in Lents, Metzger, La Grande, Bend, Salem-Trinity and Fairbanks, Alaska. He was an avid naturalist, hiker, fisherman, camp cook and photographer, and led dozens of family trail hikes into the Eagle Cap Wilderness in the Wallowa Mountains. His gentle sense of humor, gift for story telling and melodic singing voice were generously shared, and his parting sentiment to family and friends was always, "Keep to the ridges."
Survivors include his wife, Elois Arden, a daughter Coralie and her husband Steve, a son David, a daughter Joy and her husband John, a son Scott and his wife Gabriella, and five grandchildren.
Memorials may be made in lieu of flowers to the United Methodist Conference Treasurer, Wallowa Lake Camp for the Paul Jewell Yurt Fund, 1505 S.W. 18th St., Portland, 97201.
