FULLERTON —Memorial services will be held at 11:30 a.m. Saturday at the First Evangelical Free Church of Fullerton for Lee Jewett, a member of pioneer Fullerton families, who died of lung cancer May 11 in Bullhead City, Ariz. He was 68.

Jewett, who was raised in Fullerton, was the son of Bill and Winnie Jewett and nephew of Dick Jewett, who built the Basque tract in town and owned numerous properties throughout the city. Following in the family tradition, Lee Jewett was also a contractor – and a state champion trap shooter.

His grandfather, James Pearson, was chief of police in Fullerton for 14 years and in Brea for seven. His grandmother, Fannie Bess, graduated with the Fullerton Union High School Class of 1905.

Survivors include his wife of 46 years, Marsha Glennie Jewett; daughters Jeri (R.C.) Heisman of Mira Loma, Jackie (Rick) Moore of Lake Elsinore; son Darin and daughter Bo of Bullhead City. He is also survived by his brother Billy; sisters Cheri Brenner and Penny Snow; brother-in-law Larry Glennie; and sister-in-law
Nancy Glennie Motes; seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the American Lung Association.

The church is located at 2801 N. Brea Blvd.
