Eddie married Kathy (Brown) Jarman August 8th, 1962 in Ardmore, Oklahoma. After their marriage Eddie and Kathy moved to Oklahoma City where Eddie worked in the Physical Therapy Department for the Presbyterian Hospital for several years. After the birth of their first child, a daughter named Sherri, the young couple decided to return home to southern part of the state moving to the Pauls Valley area. After several more years and another child, this time a son named Theirl, the couple relocated to Sulphur where they would make their permanent home. Eddie and Kathy attended Sulphur First Assembly of God church for several years; later making The Oak Grove Church their church home.

In the early 1970’s Eddie owned and operated Jarman’s Used Furniture in downtown Sulphur. In 1974 he returned to a trade he learned while working his way through college by adding Jarman’s All Breed Grooming to the front of the furniture store. He found his love for dogs and the craft of grooming them something he enjoyed and a successful business. He remained a much sought after dog groomer until his retirement in 2000. Eddie also combined his love for garage sales and antiques into another business in around 1985 when he started Jarman’s Estate Liquidation Company, holding sales in the Southern Oklahoma area until his retirement in 2000. Even his retirement in 2000 could not keep him away from his love and the excitement of “A Good Sale”. He continued to work one Sunday a month as a Floor Manager at John Teel’s Antiques Auction Company in Blue Oklahoma. This was a job Eddie enjoyed greatly for nearly 25 years until his health would no longer allow him to continue and he had to give this job up in 2006.

Later in life as his health would allow he enjoyed working 2 days a month for the Harvest Basket Food Ministry at the Faith Center Church were he could see and visit with many of his friends.
