Jerry D. Hubbell's Obituary
Jerald D “Jerry” Hubbell, age 85 of Howard, KS, passed away February 3, 2021 at Andover Courts in Andover, KS.
Jerry was born October 2, 1935 in Eureka, KS to Carl and Ila (Hurd) Hubbell. He grew up in Howard, KS alongside 2 siblings, graduating from Howard High School in the class of 1953. He then attended Junior College in Coffeyville, KS for 2 years. In 1956, he enlisted in the United States Navy, serving his country for 4 years.
After returning home from the Navy, Jerry began dating a young lady named Martina Garralda. They fell in love and in the spring of 1960, they were united in marriage. Early in their marriage, they moved to Texas for a while, but ended up moving back to Howard, KS , where they raised their 2 daughters, Terri and Christi. This spring, they would’ve celebrated 61 wonderful years together.
Over the years, Jerry worked in life insurance sales, banking, real estate sales, and farming and ranching. His passion outside of work was playing the steel guitar. He loved getting together with other musicians in the area, where they would play country music in an old storefront in downtown Howard. People would always show up to dance or just hang out while they played.
