A graveside service for Jennie Mae Campbell Powell will 11 a.m. Wendesday at Hoppings Cemetery in Wayne. Mrs. Powell died at the Midwest City Nursing Center, Saturday, Aug. 25.
Elder Mike Hughes will officiate the burial service, which is under the direction of Mercer-Adams Funeral Service of Bethany.
Mrs. Powell was born May 10, 1910, in Fir, Ark., to Thomas Newton Campbell and Minnie Watson Campbell. She was the youngest of eight children -- four brothers and three sisters.
She married Delton Powell in Joplin, Ark., on Dec. 27, 1927, in Joplin.
The couple moved to Oklahoma City in the early '40s for employment opportunities at the Douglas Plant in Midwest City. But Mrs. Powell's real employment interest was retail. She loved her work at Oklahoma Tire and Supply, (OTASCO) Brown's Dry Goods in Britton, and the John A. Brown department store. She always said she could sell anything to anybody, her family said.
Following her husband's death in 1971, she married Howard W. Powell of Walters, on Nov. 19, 1973 in Oklahoma City. Howard died Dec. 10, 1991.
She moved to the Rivermont Retirement Community in Norman in July, 1993 and had lived there for the past 14 years.
In her younger years she was an avid gardener, loved to sew and do needlework of all kinds. Her family said she was an outstanding cook and loved to make desserts, including carrot cake.
While living at Rivermont she became a faithful Sooner fan and wore crimson and cream on game day. This past year her little great-great-niece, Kylie, brightened her days. She was a member of Union Primitive Baptist Church in Grandfield.
?She is survived by her cousin Dorothy Sneed of Bethany; two stepdaughters, Nancy and Claire Powell of Midwest City; and several nieces and nephews.
