Doris O. Jewell

Doris O. Jewell of Lansdale, PA, passed into the arms of her Lord and Savior on Friday, September 25, 2026.

Born in Buffalo, New York, on July 26, 1931, she was the daughter of Walter and Olga (Nisik) Marcynski. After graduating, she worked as a secretary at Clement Publishing until her marriage to Alvin R. Jewell in April 1960, when she moved to Detroit, Michigan. She was a homemaker for the rest of her life.

Doris's days were spent in devoted service to her husband, her mother, her mother-in-law, and her children. Her home was open to the neighborhood children, who were welcomed with cookies, Kool-Aid, coloring books, and hugs. She served her church community with hospitality and nursery care well into her 80s, and for many years she hosted a knitting and crocheting group in her home. She never spoke an unkind word to anyone and always had a smile to share.

She was a loving mother to Brenda (Jewell) Littrell and David Jewell, and a cherished grandmother to Jessica (Littrell) McCann (Matthew), Jillian (Littrell) Sirianni (Eric), and Andrew Littrell. She was a devoted great-grandmother to Dean, Lydia, Baet, and Jack McCann, Caden Littrell, and a baby boy Sirianni on the way.

She will be forever in our hearts.

A celebration of life will be held at Elm Terrace Gardens on Sunday, October 18, at 2:00 PM. Interment will be private.
