Jewel Wilkinson Obituary

The heavens have gained a special angel. Jewel Dean Harris Mooney Wilkinson, 82, went to be with our Lord on 8/3/2020 at her daughter's home, surrounded by family. She was born May 2, 1938 to Troy Wesley and Dorothy Sue (Manley) Harris, in Hamburg, Arkansas. She attended school at Ouachita Parish in Monroe, La. Jewel was a wonderful, rare and special "gem" who always had a kind word to say and a beautiful smile on her face. She loved life with a passion and it showed in everything she did. Whether it was baking, garage sale-ing with friends, pulling weeds for neighbors, visiting with sick friends, feeding her birds, making jewelry or working in her flower gardens. She enjoyed everything God created. She joined Trinity Lutheran Church in 1966. She held a broker's license and practiced real estate for over 30 years, and was part owner of San-Je's Realty. Those left to cherish her memories include son, James (Joey) Mooney, daughter and son in law Susan (Susie) and Greg Tullier. Grandchildren Michael Macaluso, Megan Tullier, Kristin Tullier, Joe Mooney, great grandchildren Alexis Tullier, Spencer Villar and Emily Macaluso. Preceded in death by her parents, brothers Don Harris, Eddie Harris, beloved husband Jack L. Wilkinson and her sweet dog Sadie. Special thanks to Hearts of Hospice Jill, Jessica, Mindy and Kwanda, Azalea Estates family and her friends from Greenbriar Hollow. A memorial service will be held on Friday, August 7, 2020 from 10:00 am until the funeral services to begin for 11:45 am at Ourso Funeral Home in Gonzales. If you would like to offer the family condolences, please sign the online guestbook at www.oursofh.com.

I was thinking of Mrs. Jewel recently and wasn't sure why, I now know that the red cardinal in my backyard has been her popping in to say hello. I enjoyed every moment of knowing her, and your family is precious. Azalea was just a passing place for me, but I met so many good souls there. Mrs. Jewel was one of them. I pray for peace in the assurance that she is resting with Jesus, even when all else was forgotten, she knew nothing but love for others. My deepest condolences to your family. -Bethany Couch
