A pillar and rock returned from whence she came leaving the Sorrells family in sadness. Precious Jewelee was the daughter born to the late Alvin and Myriel Sorrells of Manchaca, Texas on April 23, 1934. Given the name Precious suited her personality as the precious soul she was. Attended grade schools in Buda, Texas, and later Nixon Clay College in Austin, Texas. She followed her passion for clothing and began working in retail as a Manager at Frost Brothers, serving several years. God became her testimony early in life at Zion Rest Baptist Church in Kincheonville, Texas, singing in a gospel group with friends and other family members. Her faith led her to the St. John Community where she joined Blacks Memorial Baptist Church in Austin, Texas, and final roots at St. John College Heights Baptist Church. Dedicated to serving God within Mission, Ushers, and Janitorial services. Give me my flowers while I yet live...she put in flower beds at the church and maintained them. This was her testimony...
