Jewell’s brother passes away
Retired BJ columnist Jewell Cardwell’s brother, Joseph Cardwell,
passed away Thursday, March 31.
Jewell’s BJ farewell came with the 2014 buyout binge, when Kim Hone-McMahan
succeeded her. Kim retired from the BJ herself on Monday, April 4, 2016.
Jewell and I have a common thread: Her relatives once lived in the
Sycamore Coal Company camp of Cinderella, West Virginia, which is adjacent to
Williamson.
I met my late wife, Monnie Elizabeth Turkette Olesky, when Monnie
was living in Cinderella. She was one of the Cinderella Girls (“We put our hair
in curls,” part of that song goes).
Monnie passed away Feb. 4, 2004. In September of that year, Paula
Stone Tucker returned to my life. She was away in California for more than two
decades but had returned to Akron to be with her then-ailing parents, Paul and
Jane Stone, who has since passed away.
I was assistant State Desk editor and Paula was one of my reporters
who had the privilege of covering Medina and Wayne counties.
