He will be dearly missed by his family and friends. Garold was one of eight children born to Louis and Iva (Thompson) Jelsma. He spent his early years on a farm near Cambria, Iowa and attended school there. The family later moved to Confidence, Iowa where he attended Bunker Hill School. They moved to a farm near Woodland, Iowa around 1940, where he attended South Woodland School. Woodland had become home. He would spend over 50 years of his life living and working on the Jelsma family farms here. He was united in marriage with Phyllis Darlene Jackson, the love of his life, on March 15, 1952 in Leon, Iowa. They were blessed with two children, Randy and Lorri. They raised their family on their farm near Woodland. Garold was a farmer his entire life, seeing farming progress from using teams of horses to plant and harvest to tractors and self-propelled combines. Garold and his brother, Keith, farmed together for some 40 years, with never a cross word between them. He also worked with Red and Gil Clay at their sawmill and had many interesting stories to tell his children about these two bachelor brothers. He retired from farming in 1988 but continued his farming skills in his garden. In his retirement he enjoyed woodworking and enjoyed making many gifts for his family and friends, some of these with lumber milled from the family farm. In 1996, Garold and Phyllis, finally left the farm behind and moved to Clio to spend their retirement years. He was a member of the Clio Baptist Church. Garold loved music. Phyllis would often find him in the field on the tractor singing. He loved to joke and would always have a twinkle in his eye as he was joking. But most of all he loved his family. Preceding him in death were his parents, brothers Harold Jelsma, Kenneth Jelsma and Teddy Jelsma, sister Lucille Snook, and brothers-in-law, Darwin Snook, Darrell Adair, and Gene Salsberry.
