Jewel Maxine Nafus Bratton
Jewel was the youngest daughter of Stella Beeson & Andrew (Pete) Nafus. The family moved in 1923 to Lamar, CO for Stella's health. Jewel & her sisters received their educations in many different schools in MO, CO, & NB. Jewel graduated from high school in Gothenburg, NB in the spring of 1938. She entered nurses training at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Lincoln, NB 17 May 1938. A car accident interrupted her education in Sep 1939. She moved to Yampa, CO to recuperate where the love bug bit!

Jewel Nafus & Arvel Bratton were married 19 Nov 1939 in Rawlins, WY. They were blessed with two beautiful children, Arvel Lawrence Junior & Judy Janeen. While always busy w/work & family, they found time to share their love & guidance with orphaned children.

Many years were spent in Grand Junction, CO. Jewel worked for 30 years as a Clinical Laboratory Technologist continuing her studies at Mesa College in Grand Junction. While in CO, Jewel spent several years working with Dr. Geno Saccomanno in his nationally recognized cancer research. On returning to MO, Jewel continued working as a Lab Tech at St. Vincent's Hospital in Monett. Arvel had retired from National Cylinder Gas. They purchased the farm at Mineral Springs which had originally belonged to Jewel's parents. From August 2006 she resided at Red Rose Inn, Cassville.

She is survived by her daughter Janeen Rowsell w/husband Lynn, plus grandchildren Jackson & Nicole. She is also survived by a very special friend, like a part of her family, Shirley Smith.
