Services for Jerry Allen Cowan, 67, of Marietta will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, November 13 in Marietta’s Eastside Baptist Church with Rev. Ronnie Harris and Rev. Angela Harrison officiating.

Interment with military honors will follow in the Lakeview Cemetery.

Born October 11, 1943 in Seminole, the son of Jessie Lee and Jearlene Brecheen Cowan, he died Monday, November 8, 2010 in Mercy Health Love County, Marietta. Mr. Cowan had been a resident of Marietta since October 1987, moving here from Denton, Texas. A veteran of the Vietnam Conflict, Mr. Cowan served with the United States Marine Corps from February 9, 1966 to January 24, 1969. During that time he received the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnamese Service Medal, the Vietnamese Campaign Medal, the Rifle Marksman Badge and the Good Conduct Medal. He and Sally Miles were married in Knoxville, Tennessee on April 30, 1988. Mr. Cowan operated the Morning Star ATU Drug & Alcohol Rehab, Marietta E-Z Storage and flea markets. He was past president of the Love County Chamber of Commerce, served on the Water Board and participated with the Vietnam Vet organization. Jerry enjoyed people, took the time for them and listened to them, never overlooking anyone. He always put others first…never too busy to help. He also was very good to care for his parents. Jerry will certainly be remembered for his “Jerryisms.” He was of the Christian faith.

Mr. Cowan was preceded in death by his parents; and a brother, Steven Cowan.

Survivors include his wife, Sally Cowan of the home; a daughter, Landen Leigh Cowan, also of the home; a sister and brother-in-law, Linda and Jim Roschal of Oklahoma City. Pallbearers will be Oran Marshall, Jimmy Mays, Jerry Kerr, Ronnie Mendell, Michael McVicker, Mike Plunkett, David Davis and Dr. J.T. O’Connor.
