Lillian Beatress Kerr

of Mabelvale, AR

April 16, 1941 - October 4, 2025

Lillian Beatress Kerr, age 84, passed peacefully into her Savior's arms on October 4, 2025 with her family by her side. Lillian was born to William Thomas (Bill) Moody and Nora Lovina (Viney) Moody on April 16, 1941 in Center, Arkansas.

After graduating high school, Lillian made Little Rock her home. From there she met the best-looking blue-eyed boy around, Wilcher Kerr. In 1961, Wilcher was called to active duty with the U.S. Army and they married and moved to Fort Bragg, NC. After Wilcher's release from the Army, they moved back to Little Rock and raised their family.

Lillian was an amazing seamstress and made many clothes for her family, many times copying the look of designer clothing without patterns. She was good at any craft she tried and often supplemented the family income by the things she made.

Lillian's priority in life was her family and she was always present for her children, whether it be tossing around a football or softball in the backyard or games of basketball in the driveway. However, the sport she cherished most was Golf. She learned to play later in life and enjoyed her time on the golf course with many of her friends. I think her greatest memory on the course was the day she beat dad!

Lillian was a great mom, but she really excelled as Nana. If there was a child around they knew her and knew her name was Nana! She loved them all and in turn, they loved her.

Lillian is preceded in death by her husband of 56 years, Wilcher C. Kerr and her son-in-law, Scott Ginn. She is survived by her son, W. Barry Kerr (Dawna) and daughter Lisa Ginn; grandchildren, W. Austin Kerr, Evan Kerr, Brad Ginn (Madelyn), Sara Johnson (Lance), Mia Ginn and Brianne Ginn. She is also survived by great-granddaughter, Whitley Johnson.

Lillian was also preceded in death by her beloved parents and sisters, Lenora Foster and A. Wilene Seat. She is survived by brother, Mason Moody (Elaine); sisters, Betty Moody-Springer, Ann Messick, Joyce Davis and many nieces, nephews and other family members.

Instead of flowers, Lillian would be happy to know you donated to St. Jude or the Wounded Warrior project in her memory.

And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away….. Rev 21:
