BAF Announces New Fund in Memory of Rick Jarrell

Freda (wife), Robert (son) and Robin (daughter) established the Rick Jarrell Memorial Fund in honor of the past and present dogs, cats, birds, goats and fish that the family have been blessed to share their lives with. This fund will benefit the Raleigh County Animal Rescue and Raleigh County Humane Society.

"The Humane Society of Raleigh County is honored to be included as recipients of the Rick Jarrell Memorial Fund. Because of acts of kindness such as this, we are able to continue to provide quality care for our animals"
- Nancy Johnson, President of the Raleigh County Humane Society

Rick earned his business degree from Morris Harvey College while also working at Raleigh Grocery. He was a Purex soap salesman for the tri-state area. He later established his own grocery business, Rick’s Supermarket in Glen Daniel, in 1979, which is still family owned and operated. Rick served on the Whitesville State Bank Board of Directors and Big Coal River BanCorp. for over 25 years until illness forced him to retire. Rick loved working at his grocery store, working on his farm, tinkering with antique cars and spending time with his bulldogs. Rick enjoyed talking to anyone and everyone and he hardly ever met a stranger. Rick was a lifelong member of the Marsh Fork Presbyterian Church in Dry Creek, WV.
