Harold J.L. England
Mr. Harold J.L. England, 85, of Flowery Branch, Georgia, entered into the presence of his Lord and Savior on his 85th birthday, Sunday, July 5, 2026.
Harold was born July 5, 1941, in Clinton to Hollis and Elsie England. He was preceded in death by his wife, Geraldine Mae England; his parents; and his sister, Zella Adams.
A devoted Christian, Harold was a longtime member of Blackshear Place First Baptist Church in Oakwood, Georgia. His faith guided his life and was reflected in the kindness, humility and love he showed to everyone who knew him.
Harold enjoyed a successful career with Minolta Business Systems in Atlanta, where he worked for many years before retiring. Retirement opened the door to one of life’s greatest pleasures — traveling with his beloved wife, Jerri, and creating treasured memories with family and friends.
Although he enjoyed traveling, Harold’s greatest joy was always his family. Nothing brought him greater happiness than supporting his children, grandchildren and great-grandchild. Whether attending baseball games, tennis matches, volleyball tournaments, graduations, honor ceremonies or other milestones, Harold was faithfully present, offering encouragement, love and pride. His family was the center of his life, and the legacy of his unwavering love and devotion will remain with them forever.
While his family deeply mourns his passing, they find peace and comfort in God’s promise that one day they will all be reunited in heaven.
He is survived by his sons and daughters-in-law, Mike and Amber England of Watkinsville, Georgia, and David and Brooke England of Flowery Branch; grandchildren, Jordan (Seth) Goodroe, Emma England, Wyatt England, Bryce England, Ethan England and Ella Grace England; and his treasured great-grandson, Charlie Goodroe.
Services were held at 2 p.m. Sunday, July 12, 2026, in the chapel of Memorial Park South Funeral Home with the Rev. Dave Channell officiating. Interment followed at Memorial Park South Cemetery. The family received friends from 1 to 2 p.m. on Sunday, July 12 at the funeral home.
“Well done, good and faithful servant ... Enter into the joy of your Lord.” — Matthew 25:23.
Memorial Park South Funeral Home of Flowery Branch, Georgia, was in charge of arrangements.
