After graduating, she worked at the former Incor Hotel in Magnetic Springs, then at Industrial Canvas and Ranco, Inc. in Delaware. Her faith was with the former Church of Christ in Magnetic Springs. Jewell married Ralph Markin in March 1949 and moved to Richwood in 1963. She later worked at Cosmo Plastics in Richwood from October 1973 until April of 1985.

Once her children were grown, she enjoyed day trips and vacations with her husband. They also were spectators at Sandusky Speedway at the Sprint Car races. Later in life, she still enjoyed traveling back to some of her childhood homes and sharing stories about her life.
