Jeffrey Marvin Schmall

Jeffrey Marvin Schmall was born on March 9, 1958 in Madera, California and passed away at his Madera home on September 11, 2019 after fighting a long, hard battle against leukemia.
Jeffrey was born and raised by Marvin and Jeanne Schmall of Madera, California. He attended Eastin-Arcola Elementary and graduated from Madera High School, Class of 1976. He attended Cal Poly State University, San Luis Obispo and studied Metallurgical Engineering. During that time, he married Lisa McDaniel, who had a longtime crush on Jeffrey. They started a family and raised two daughters on their ranch in Madera.

Jeffrey was a farmer, as well as a Quality Control Inspector. He was a loving son, brother, husband, father and known by his granddaughters as “Papa J”. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, farming, and most of all spending time with his family.

He will be missed dearly by his devoted wife of 39 years, Lisa Schmall, his daughter Nicole Mendrin and her husband Allen, his daughter Jordan Schmall, his beloved granddaughters Ashlynn and Peyton Mendrin, his loving parents Marvin and Jeanne Schmall, his sister Kristi Sagouspé and her husband Kevin, and numerous nieces and nephews.
