Harold Jarrell Obituary

Harold George Jarrell, Sr. January 14, 1926 - August 21, 2010 COLUMBUS, GA — Dr. Harold George Jarrell, Sr., beloved Columbus physician, passed away Saturday, August 21, 2010 at Timm's Creek Plantation, his Taylor County home near Butler, Georgia. His funeral will be held 11:00 AM Monday, August 23, 2010, at Union United Methodist Church (141 Union Church Road) located near his family farm. The service to celebrate his life will be conducted by Reverend Mark Sasser, Reverend Matthew Avera and Reverend Daryl Brown. Dr. Harold G. Jarrell, the youngest of ten children of Mary McCants Jarrell and Floyd Cannon Jarrell, Sr., was born on January 14, 1926. Growing up on the farm where his family settled in the early 1800's, Dr. Jarrell developed his vigorous work ethic. He had a passionate love for his family, friends and patients. At the age of 15 he entered the University of Georgia and graduated from the Medical College of Georgia at age 21. Dr. Jarrell was the first resident of a partnership between Macon General Hospital and the Medical College of Georgia, the predecessor of the ObGyn Department of Mercer University Medical College. As chief resident, Dr. Jarrell developed the Medical College of Georgia's ObGyn Residency Program in Columbus. After completion of his residency, Dr. Jarrell served his country in Japan as a Captain in the United States Medical Corps during the Korean War. Following his military duty, he established ObGyn Associates of Columbus which continues today as one of the leading practices in the region. Dr. Jarrell spent the next 42 years of his life delivering newborns and healing the sick while devoting his life to his patients. It was important to him that his patients understood his concern and commitment for their well being. As an innovative pioneer in his specialty, Dr. Jarrell took pride in sharing the art of medicine with medical residents and students. In 2008 St. Francis Hospital honored Dr. Jarrell and his brother, Dr. Floyd C. Jarrell, Jr. as recipients of the Dr. Clarence C. Butler Service and Leadership Award. A gregarious Southern gentleman and farmer, Dr. Jarrell found great joy in working with his nephew, John Jarrell and wife, Nina, overseeing Timm's Creek Plantation and his award winning registered Angus cattle. Dr. Jarrell sought to glorify God through his efforts to restore, preserve and beautify Union United Methodist Church. For over 50 years he served its administrative board in numerous positions. He was instrumental in bringing honor to Union Cemetery by achieving its placement on the National Historic Trust Registry. Dr. Jarrell was predeceased by his parents, Floyd and Mary Jarrell, brothers, Thelmon, Polk, Gorman, Fred, and Arthur Jarrell, and sisters, Hazel Jarrell and Marie Jarrell McGlaun. He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Corinne Betts Jarrell; daughters, Julie Yancey and husband, Dr. Patrick Yancey, IV, of Newnan, and Chappell Miller and husband, Charles Miller, Jr., of Birmingham, Alabama; son, Dr. Harold George Jarrell, Jr. and wife, Kim, of Columbus; grandchildren, Patrick, Jefferson, and Barkley Yancey, Palmer and Adelaide Miller, and George and Cannon Jarrell; sister, Cathryn Jarrell Cheek; brother, Dr. Floyd C. Jarrell, Jr. and wife, Jody; sister-in-law, Estelle Spinks Jarrell; brother-in-law, Dequindre McGlaun; beloved nieces, nephews and over 100 extended Jarrell family members.

During the 1980´s, my husband and our family were stationed at Ft. Bennington. During that time, I worked Labor&Delivery at The Medical Center and was privileged to work with Dr. Jarrell. He was an amazing physician and epitomized Southern charm and gentility. Just having a moment reminiscing about those years and the precious memories. I feel so blessed to have known Dr. Jarrell. Blessings to his family...he left quite a legacy.

Like St. Luke in the Bible, Harold Jarrell was a dear and glorious physician. He had a special love for my late beloved wife Lois, and she for him. My respect and admiration for the entire Jarrell family was epitomized in him. To call him friend in sunshine and in shadow was as natural as breath. "Until we gather in heaven's bright city, far away on that beautiful shore" we will remember this uncommon man, his life and service, his devotion to his fellow man, with unbounded appreciation.

Dear Corrine and extended Jarrell Family,

I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how sorry I am that
you have lost such a treasured part of your family.
I have known Dr Jarrell since 1971, when he became my "Baby"
doctor , as they were called back in the day.
He always reassured me with his soft spoken voice and big smile.
He was able to help me deliver a healthy baby boy, James Keith
Carpenter who is now married to Jennifer Payne Jarrell.
Little did we know that we would someday be family.
I am so glad that you have such a large, loving family who will help
you through the difficult days ahead.
I hope that you will be comforted by the legacy Dr. Jarrell left behind, and by all your friends that share your loss.

Dr. Jarrell''s wife and family
There are no words to expresss the love that we had for Dr. Harold.
He treated me from 1970 , delivered out last Child, Jennifer Lynn Ware, Sunday Sept. 1, l968. His wife was so precious to share him with us for that speciaal Sunday, and many years ago, I wrote his wife and told her just that with all the others special things about him and his family. I loved when he walked into the room with that special smile, he always had for everyone. He treated me annually until he had to retire and I have prayed to God that he was such a blessing sent into our live. He told me life begans at forty, and he was experiencing it.. Our love is deeper than we can express. He helped so many, many people. All my friends saw Dr. Harold Jarrell for their annuals and looked so forward to it. I have never felt the comfort that he gave me from any other Dr, He was the greatest and We loved him so, He had to have a wonderful wife and family to be the man he was for all of us. God Bless you are in our prayers. Grace J. Ware

Any woman who was a patient of Dr. Jarrell is heartbroken to hear of his passing. He was a wonderful doctor and loved by all of his patients. I have wonderful memories in my heart and especially because of him, I was able to finally have a child after years and months of tears. My son is 38 years old now and I will continue to thank Dr. Jarrell for his kindness and concern. I know God has accepted this wonderful, kind and caring true Christian gentleman into his arms. God bless his family during this time.

My heart breaks for Dr. Jarrell's family, but just know he is in Heaven and is no longer in any pain. He was my doctor when I was trying to get pregnant many years ago. Against all the odds and due to his knowledge and diligence I was able to conceive and give birth to my son who is now 31 years old. God gave him the gifts he posessed and he used them to the fullest. I thank God for giving us such a fine doctor. I pray that God will give each member of his family and his friends peace in the days to come. RIP Dr. Jarrell.

Dear Jarrell Family,

I was saddened to read of Dr. Jarrell's passing. I've never known a more caring, understanding, polite, soft spoken and knowledgeable doctor as he. It was a pleasure to have him as my ob/gyn doctor through three pregnancies and afterwards until his retirement. He was loved by all who knew him. He was truly a Christian Southern gentleman!

Love,

Debbie Eidam

I first met Dr. Jarrell when he was my mother's doctor and he delivered my brother. I was so fortunate to have him as my doctor years later. He was one of the most caring physicans I have ever had. My mother and I have always used him as the benchmark by which we measured our doctors.

Emily Davis

August 22, 2010

A bright light in the world has gone out. Dr. Jarrell made you feel like you were the only patient he had. He delivered my son and was my doctor until he retired. I never heard one negative word about him, and I know many dozen women who were his patients. Words can never express how much our community loved him. He will be missed greatly. If there was ever a person who deserves to be in heaven, it is Dr. Jarrell. May God wrap his arms around each member of his family in the coming days. RIP

My mind goes all the way back to 1939 when my Dad, Rev. Forest Gilbert, was pastor to the Jarrell Family. I remember the wonderful good times of friendship, food and having fun on the farm. Precious memories linger! Sorry that I am ill and cannot attend the service for my good friend. Harold was indeed a wonderful Christian man. Betty joins me in sending sincere sympathy to all the family. He will be greatly missed!!!!

August 22, 2010

To the Jarrell family, I am convinced that my Mother, Marilyn Louise Rayburn, loved two men in her life. One was my father of course and her husband for 52 years. The second was Dr. Harold Jarrell. She was employed by him, was a long-time patient of his, and made sure that he delivered her youngest daughter and all but one of her grandchildren. She and my Father called him "friend" for many years and trusted his medical expertise completely. I know that I would not be the nurse I am today without the mentoring, traning, and professional leadership he gave me. We have all lost a wonderful man here on earth but I know my Mother is walking with him down streets of gold!

I just finished reading about Uncle Harold's life,work and family. We are so glad we were able to know and love him as much as we did. I can give the credit to Clint for finding a little North GA girl to marry into this loving family. Uncle Harold was special to us and my mama. I hope they will be able to see each other in Heaven. Aunt Corrine our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. We will be thinking of you all during this time, and we hope to see you soon.

To everybody in Dr. Jarrell's family, I hope you understand what he meant to his patients. He was my doctor from the time I was 15 or 16 until he retired. I will be 58 this year. He delivered my baby, and he would listen to me about anything I had on my mind. I haven't seen him in several years, but in all the time since he retired, he still felt like a family member to me. You probably can not imagine the impact he had on my life. Or maybe you can. I am grieving today, and my prayers are with his family. God bless you.

Dr. Harold was a wonderful physician and friend. About 45 years ago, he did surgery so that I could get pregnant and then after 5 pregnancies he had to do surgery to stop the pregnancies. My husband, Joe, moved some buildings out to the farm in the mid 1960s. A truly wonderful, Christian man.

Louise McHargue

August 22, 2010

What a great loss for our community. A great doctor and friend for the last forty years. The man that delivers your babies is about as close a friend and advocate that a woman ever has and Dr Jarrell really was those things. I remember giving him an exploding outhouse for Christmas one year and he kept setting it off and bringing it back into the examining room where I was trying to retain my modesty while resetting it for him. He was a real character and I will miss him dearly. My mother, Emma Watson, thought he was the absolute best and she was right. To the entire Jarrell family, please accept our deepest sympathies on the loss of a legend.
