In 2020, Rick’s wife Freda, son Robert, and daughter Robin established the Rick Jarrell Memorial Fund in honor of the past and present dogs, cats, birds, goats and fish that the family were blessed to have shared their lives with. Income from this find will be distributed annually to 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 and later, in 1979, opened his own grocery business, Rick’s Supermarket in Glen Daniel. It 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
