Elisabeth Augusta Kerr, 89, of Jackson, passed away Monday, August 9, 2021, at ClaRu Deville Nursing Center in Fredericktown, Missouri.

Elisabeth was born January 19, 1932, in Munich, Germany, to Augustin and Kreszentia Radt Roehrl.  She and Gale Kerr were married December 28, 1956, in Germany.  Three daughters were born to their union, Monica, Michelle, and Monett.  Gale honorably served in the U.S. Air Force over 20 years, so the family was accustomed to living in the U.S. and Europe.  Elisabeth and Gale had been married nearly 24 years when Gale passed away November 19, 1980.

While still living in Germany, Elisabeth was trained as a professional seamstress.  She also designed garments and did flawless alterations.

Loving survivors include her daughters, Monica (Kenneth) Fluegge, Michelle Kerr Mangrum, and Monett Kerr, all of Jackson; and two grandsons, Matthew (Whitney) Fluegge and Andrew Fluegge; and one great-grandson, Brycen Fluegge.

A memorial visitation will be held from 12:30 to 3 p.m., Sunday, August 15, 2021, at McCombs Funeral Home and Cremation Center in Jackson.

Elisabeth will privately be laid to rest next to Gale at Berrong Cemetery near Zalma, Missouri.
