Jeanette Kerr Zachary

My sweet sister in law passed  away Sunday. PLEASE Keep my family in your prayers.

Jeanette Kerr Zachary was elevated to her Lord and Savior’s waiting arms on Sunday, August 14, 2011.  Born to Edward Hudson Kerr and Rosella Mitchell Kerr of Sanderson, Texas on February 17, 1960, married to Gilbert Wayne Zachary and raised two beautiful children Meagan Elizabeth Zachary and Jerad Wayne Zachary.  A wake service will be held in her memory of her beautiful light on Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at Martin Funeral Home in El Paso at 10:00 a.m. A funeral service will be at the First Presbyterian Church in Sanderson at 10:00 a.m. on August 18, 2011 with burial service following.  Jeanette was an especially devoted and loving mother to her beautiful children, Meagan and Jerad, and took abundant pride and joy in their love of God and life, consideration of others and great work ethic.  A devout Christian and stalwart soldier of the Lord’s love and acceptance were exemplified in her glorious love of family, husband and most especially her beautiful children.  She carried her family devotion to her teaching and love of her precious students.  A soldier for all those challenged by others and one beginning a movement against bullying in the world.  A tremendous fighting spirit for those embattled by others; she would stand strong in a battle while carrying her heart on her sleeve where damage was inevitable.  She greatly loved her parents, Memaw and Papa, siblings and all those in need.  She loved her students and special friends, Andrea Monsivais, Lorena Hernandez, Christie Brown and dear neighbors.  Jeanette remained a lover of dogs (any dog), children, music, reading, walking, shopping and travel.  She will be missed tremendously here amongst those bound in body but forever present in the lives and hearts of us all.

She remains with the spirits of her loving husband Gilbert Wayne (Zach) Zachary, children Meagan Elizabeth Zachary and Jerad Wayne Zachary; siblings and spouses Rosalie Kerr Johnson, Edward Hudson Kerr II and Maggie Banner Kerr, Timothy James Kerr and Beth Zumwalt Kerr and Thomas George Kerr and Amy Eggemeyer Kerr; beloved nieces and nephews, Michelle Annette Johnson, Mendy Lyn Johnson, Edward Hudson ‘Ward’ Kerr, III, Banner Joe Kerr, Audrey Rose Kerr, William Thomas Kerr, James Edward Kerr, Joseph Arthur Kerr, and Katelyn Patricia Kerr; many wonderful devoted friends and loved ones from throughout her life and her family; and last mentioned but most definitely not least; beloved dogs Fritz, Tilley, Riley, Kaiya, Joe and Charlie.
