Obituary

Jerroll Zwahlen, 88, passed away after a short illness on November 10, 2025, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Born on February 20, 1937, in Sherman City, Kansas, Jerroll lived a long and fulfilling life rooted in family and hard work.

He was the youngest child of Archibald L. Zwahlen and Gerda L. George Zwahlen. He was raised in a large rural family with four brothers and two sisters. After graduating in 1954 from Mineral High School in West Mineral, Kansas, Jerroll began building a life defined by perseverance and dedication.

Jerroll launched his career with American Airlines after training in Kansas City-a turning point that also led him to meet his ideal life partner, Lois. They married in her hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana, and shared 61 years of marriage with their six children.

His more than 45-year tenure at American Airlines stood as a testament to his strong work ethic and steadfast loyalty. Outside of work, Jerroll especially enjoyed fishing and camping at Grand Lake with his extended family-moments that became cherished traditions across generations.

Jerroll's legacy lives on through his five surviving children: Bruce Zwahlen; Roger Zwahlen; Janet McCormick and her husband Brian; Deann Stamper; and Carol Hampton and her husband Russell. He is remembered by seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Lois, his parents; siblings Harvey, Junior, Billy, Emery Zwahlen, Betty Wagner, and Dorothy Brock; son, Larry Zwahlen; and two granddaughters, Jessica Stamper and Carissa Gallegos.

A Funeral Service will be held on Friday, November 14, 2025, at 11:00 AM at Calvary Cemetery Chapel, 9101 S Harvard Ave., Tulsa.
