Jerry entered Eternal Life on Saturday, September 14, 2013 in Brownfield. He was born October 16, 1933 in Haskell, Texas to Bill and Lenola Mowell. Jerry lived in Old Glory, Texas with his family until the 5th grade when his family moved to Rule, TX. He graduated from Rule High School in 1951. He married Patricia Townsend in Haskell, TX on January 25, 1953. They celebrated their 60th anniversary this past January.
He began his career with Santa Fe Railroad and was a telegraph operator until 1962. At that time, he and his wife moved to Brownfield, TX where he started his career with Ozark Mahoning Co, where he worked for over 32 years at both the Brownfield and Seagraves plants, retiring as a plant manager in 1994. Jerry was a devoted Christian where he served in many capacities as a member of Calvary Baptist Church, where he was a deacon for 25 years. His faith, his love for his family and time spent in Ruidoso trout fishing were amongst his greatest treasures in life.
