Carol Jewitt

Carol Jewitt was born in York Pennsylvania on December 3rd, 1933. When she was 5 her father, a traveling shoe salesman, died from colon cancer and the family relocated to her Grandfather’s farm in Freemont, Maryland, close to Pretty Boy Dam.

To get to school she had to walk a mile to get to the bus. She was unable to stay for extracurricular activities after school in order to help with farm chores.

After graduating from high school, Carol started her career at Pinkersgill Nursing Home in Baltimore County. She meticulously built a successful career which ended after she became Head Nurse at Norristown State Hospital and President of the Pennsylvania Nurses Association.

Carol was married to James Jewitt and is survived by her son, Thomas Jewitt, three grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren with one on the way. She cherished the time she was able to spend with family, and left an imprint of their time together by writing a collection of poems which was not discovered until after her death.

In her retirement Carol discovered fulfilling passions, creative hobbies, comforting routines, and steadfast friendships in the town of Groton. She was a member of the Groton Woman’s Club, civically engaged, and member of the Groton Book club and discussion group.
