Jerry Mac Self, 73, of Lowell, passed away Monday, July 26, 2021 at his home. He was born March 11, 1948 in Clarksville, AR to Harlon and Violet Hufford Self.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Harlon and Violet Self; a sister, Burnie Tolbert; and a brother, J.R. Self.
Jerry was a man of many hats. He enjoyed time in fellowship with friends and family. He loved life, but first and foremost, he loved the Lord and sharing the gospel. His catchphrase was “blessed to the bone”. Jerry had a strong sense of humor. He never met a stranger and had a deep passion for military veterans. He was very proud of his family. Jerry also enjoyed hunting and fishing with his sons and grandchildren (and just hanging-out with all his big family!).
He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Glenda Nell Curtis Self of the home; a son, Jerry Michael Self (Valerie Meyer) of Rogers, a son, Timothy Don Self (Debbie) of Farmington; a daughter, Shannon Michelle Self-Jones of Lowell; a brother, Larry Don Self; a sister, Norma Jo Johnson; and a “bonus sister”, Janice Self; grandchildren, Christopher Todd Self (Kara), Codey Harlon Self (Jennie), Khali Danielle Edwards (Dixon), Elizabeth Shaelynn Carneal (Brian), Alexandria Self, Katherine Self and Jacob Self; 9 great-grandchildren; his horse, Sarge; and two dogs, Molly and Meme.
The family will receive friends from 5-7 PM Thursday, July 29, 2021 at Beard’s Chapel.
Funeral services will be 11:00 AM Friday, July 30, 2021 at Cross Church (Pinnacle Hills) in Rogers with Pastor Don Alexander officiating. Interment will follow in Oak Grove Cemetery in Rogers under the direction of Beard’s Chapel.
My prayers and condolences go out to the family. Jerry was an extraordinary man and was the mostly Godly person I’ve ever met. I find comfort in knowing he is in the presence of Christ and is at peace.

Oh, Jerry, you left this earth too soon. You wanted to live, but your body gave out. I will miss you dearly. We had just reconnected after 55 years as friends. Many prayers to the family.
MY HEART IS WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY SHANNON. LOVE CINDY
Glenda and family, you will be in Darrel’s and my prayers as you navigate this difficult time. Jerry was an extraordinary man, and will be missed by many. I’ll miss seeing his posts on Facebook. In every post, he was either asking for prayers for someone or giving glory to God for yet another blessing. What a wonderful testimony he had!
So very sorry for your loss.
We will surely miss Jerry at CrossChurch (Pinnacle). One of our favorite memories was whenever Jerry was asked how he was doing/feeling, he’d say, I’ve been blessed to the bone”. Loved his hugs and big smile. No doubt he loved Jesus. Prayers going up for the family and friends. 💞❤️
Love you all! Rick/Debby Wieneke
