Reatha Jean Kerr 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.
