On Aug. 15, 1954, Jerrold was united in marriage to Norma Carpenter at the United Methodist Church in Perry, Iowa. To this union four children were born Mark, David, Fenton and Lea Ann.
Jerrold was very proud and worked very hard to receive his GED from Indian Hills Community College later in life.
Jerrold worked 25 years for Kaser Construction and during that time he lived in Adel, Waukon, Winterset, Selma, finally settling down in New Sharon in 1959, where they raised their children.
He then worked for Farmhand in Grinnell for a couple years before working for Mahaska County Secondary Road Crew, retiring in 1998.
In September 2017, Jerrold and Norma moved to Homestead in Oskaloosa, where they enjoyed their time and the new friendships made. Due to Jerrold’s declining health, they resided at Northern Mahaska Nursing and Rehabilitation Center over the past year.
