Louis Jarrell Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Smith Funeral Home - Mantua on Jun. 16, 2025.
Louis L. Jarrell, Sr., age 87, passed peacefully in his sleep at home on hospice care in Mantua, NJ. Louis was a proud veteran of the United States Army, serving from 1957 - 1966, during the Korean War. Following his time in the Army, Louis worked as a surveyor with the state helping to build many roads in South Jersey, later becoming a Machinist, working at Valero. After retiring from Valero, he went to work as the maintenance person for the Gloucester County library system.
Louis enjoyed spending his time fishing, and was an avid sports fan, cheering for the Phillies, Flyers, and Eagles. He loved old cars, and was known for being a collector of things, gathering treasures others had discarded.
Louis is survived by his children, Louis Jr. and wife, Sherry Jarrell, Robert Jarrell, and Sharon Jarrell. Also, by grandchildren, Anya, Nicholas, Christopher, Marc (Katrina), Tyler (Brittany), Shaun (Stephanie), Jennifer (Mike), Thomas (Lauren), and Timothy, as well as his many great grandchildren, and extended family and friends.
Predeceased by his loving wife, Lorelee Jarrell (nee Huber), daughter-in-law, Patricia Jarrell, his mother, Eleanor Jarrell, and siblings George Jarrell, and Dorothy Pike.
Services are private.

It was always nice to have Lou at the library. It was fun to see him with his family at craft shows, too. I still have the "neck coolers" they sold. May he rest in peace and his love continue. Thank you for sharing him

I worked with Lou at the Library and Lou was always helping out with duties whenever asked to help move things or hang things when needed. Lou always was full of laughs.
