1928 - 2024
Dr. Howard Allen Jewell, 96, of Tinton Falls, NJ, passed away peacefully at home with his devoted family on May 6, 2024. He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather, known for his generosity to relatives and dry humor.
Howard was born in New York City on March 31, 1928, an only child to Emanuel and Sylvia Jewell. He graduated from New York University with a PhD in Pharmacology in 1953. After working several years as a researcher for a pharmaceutical company, Howard entered New York Medical College and graduated with his medical degree in 1962. Then he completed his residency at Fitkin Memorial Hospital (now Jersey Shore University Medical Center) in Neptune, NJ.
While in college, Howard married his lovely wife Marian, a marriage that lasted 74 years. They liked to travel to Europe, the Caribbean, and throughout the United States. They had three children, Sharon, Susan, and Steven.
The young doctor opened his office in Ocean Grove, NJ, in 1963 and retired in 1990, specializing in family practice. He saved countless lives and was so appreciated by his patients that many of them sent postcards to him while traveling to other parts of the world and even brought him gifts. He and a colleague started the first kidney dialysis unit at Fitkin Memorial Hospital. While in practice, Howard served as a physician for some Neptune (NJ) high school sports teams. He also mentored medical students.
Howard and Marian have resided at Seabrook Senior Retirement Village since 2013. Howard is survived by Marian, daughters Sharon Silverman and Susan Jewell, son-in-law Harry Silverman, and grandsons Kevyn and Michael Silverman. His beloved son, Steven Jewell, predeceased him in March 2024.
A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, May 8, 2024 at 1:00 at Beth Miriam Memorial Park in Neptune, NJ.
Contributions in Howard’s memory may be made to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, NJ (to assist medical students), New York Medical College, the Florida Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg, or the Wounded Warrior Project.
