Mary Jewel Mills Marconi was always the life of any of our Needs Creek Mills (& others) Reunions on the Saturday after Mother's Day. Then we'd go on up to Aunt Jewel & Uncle Oliver's home and continue the festivities. We had so much fun as youngsters. The Needs Creek Baptist Church Cemetery was over run by all of us kids. Mary Jewel & her sister Shirley were always so great to play with the rest of us. We will miss her; we pray for comfort (& fun memories) for James & Linda & their families. R.I.P. sweet cousin.
