Paul Jewell

Paul Winsor Jewell age 76, of Millcreek joined his “bride” Joy, the love of his life, in eternal rest on Monday, April 11, 2022. Paul, who was known to his grandchildren as Papa, was devoted to his family and was an avid sports fan. He lived his life in service to his community and his country.
He was born in Flushing Long Island, NY on April 19, 1945, a son of the late Mervyn Winsor and Mary Patricia McNaught Jewell. He lived most of his adult life in Chippewa, PA raising & loving his family before retiring and spending his last 12 years with his children and grandchildren in Erie, PA.
Paul was a graduate of Bethel Park High School and went on to receive his BA in Communications from Geneva College where he met Joy, his late wife of 52 years.
He served in the United States Army from 1969 to 1974.
Paul began his career with General Mills Company, worked for the Alumni office of Geneva College and retired from People’s Home Savings Bank.
He was a former member of the Freedom Presbyterian Church in Freedom, PA where he served as an Elder and Trustee and was currently a member of Wayside Presbyterian Church in Erie.
Paul was a member of the Kiwanis Club of Beaver Falls where he served as Past President.

His most passionate service was to CORE, the Center for Organ Recovery and Education, as he was a 28-year recipient of a heart transplant. He was so grateful that this allowed him to see the college graduations and marriages of his children and enjoy close relationships with his grandchildren.
