Jerry Purcell
Jerry Purcell, of Cabot, born on March 20, 1953, went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday.
His death was unexpected and sudden. His family and friends grieve his passing, but we do not mourn in vain. Jerry knew that his only comfort in life and in death was in our faithful savior, Jesus Christ.
In this moment of loss, we too, cling to the comfort and hope that is found in Jesus. It is our hope in Jesus that allows us to make a joyful noise unto the Lord (Psalm 100) and to praise the Lord with music (Psalm 150) because we know that death does not have the last word.
Jerry is survived by his loving wife, Margie, of 44 years; his three sons and their families, including six grandchildren; and his parents, brother and sister.
Jerry dedicated 38 years of his life to Penn United Technologies. When he retired two years ago, he was the executive vice president of operations.
Even after retirement, he continued to serve as a member of the board of directors for Penn United Technologies and for Truefit.
In addition to his work, his love of music benefited many, faithfully serving multiple churches as a director of music.
He also performed with a number of musical groups over the years, The Lindamens, Psalm 150, Jubal, Kerygma, Praise Maker, Surrender, Aslan's Shadow, Folk Hammer, Off the Record, Street Level and most recently, Stoneground.
