Jewell Janney McClure, 90, of Salem, went to be with the Lord on Friday, February 18, 2022, surrounded by her loving family. Born May 20, 1931, in Roanoke, Virginia to the late Theodore and Effie Lawrence Janney, she is also preceded in death by her loving husband, Malcolm Laurie McClure, Jr., as well as her sister, Myrtle Janney Beach.
Jewell was truly a jewel and adored by her family. Her creative spirit was reflected in her love of art and painting. She greatly enjoyed traveling, especially if it involved a sandy beach getaway. Christmas was always a special time during which she looked forward to having her whole family, and her sister's family, gathered together. Above all, she adored her family and the time spent with them. She was especially proud of her first great-grandson he is pure joy!
Those left to treasure her memory are her son, Spencer L. McClure; daughter, Amber L. McClure; her only grandson, James G. Spradlin (of whom she was especially proud and who was to her, perfect in every way) and his wife, Camaryon; great-grandson, Malcolm Joseph Spradlin, as well as nephews, Nestor Beach, Damon Beach, Jason Beach, and their families.
The family will receive friends on Monday, February 21, 2022, from 12:00 p.m. 2:00 p.m., in the chapel of John M. Oakey & Son Funeral Home. A service to honor and celebrate Jewells life will begin at 2:00 p.m. in the chapel with Chaplain Roy Kanode officiating. Jewell will be privately laid to rest with her husband in Evergreen Burial Park, Roanoke, Virginia.
The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to caregiver Bonnie Keister for the compassionate and loving care she provided. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to MADD, the American Heart Association, or the Roanoke Valley SPCA.
