Jewell Catherine Brown, of Crossville TN, age 81, passed away on February 25, 2019 at home in the presence of family.

Jewell lived her life and she lived it very well. She enjoyed bowling and throughout her life she played on many different leagues. She did not stop there, when she was younger you would find her singing at piano bars and going dancing with her late husband Gene Brown. Together they enjoyed attending the TN Oil & Gas Association Conventions. They enjoyed being active and taking RV trips across the US. Jewell loved her Western/Cowboy shows, especially ones starring Audi Murphy. She had a great love for reading mystery books and even passed those books on to her children.

She is survived by her children, Karen Wheatley (Kevin), Brenda Dillon (Joey), and Vince Brown (Shannon); grandchildren, David Powers, Ginger Pate, Marshall Dillon, Brad Dillon, and Chase Allred; great granddaughter, Carissa Atwood (Brandon); sister-in-law, Jet Stewart; and a host of nieces, nephews and cousins.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Gene Brown; parents, Chuck and Lucille Potts; sisters, Mary Charles Marsh and Weezie Will; brother-in-law, Russell Brown.
