Reatha Dye

Reatha Jean Kerr Dye, age 84 of Franklin, TN passed away July 27, 2019. To all those who knew our amazing mother Reatha Jean Kerr Dye, her seeming limitless amount of "cat lives" finally culminated when peacefully, as was her dream, passed into the arms of Jesus. This notice is in loving memory of this much beloved woman by everyone who knew her. She was retired from Brown and Graves Lumber Company where she managed the computer department. Prior to moving to Franklin, TN, she lived in The Villages, Florida. Jean grew up in Akron, OH, and she and her husband Glenn "Bud" Kerr raised their four daughters in Springfield Township. She left behind many friends in all three states. Jean loved golfing, shopping, playing cards, traveling, socializing with friends, and she treasured her time with her family most of all. We, as her family, thank all of you who were part of her life; she treasured you. She was preceded in death by husbands, Glenn Daniel "Bud" Kerr and William Dye; parents, James Arthur and Rosie Mae Patton; brother, Gearld Walker Patton and sister, Kathryn Mae Patton Dobbs.
