Norma Jean Anderson Kerr, 83, loving spouse, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, passed peacefully with her loved ones at her bedside on June 10th, 2021 after her 3 year battle with cancer.  

She was a 1955 graduate of Argentine High School and in 1956 married Ronald Lee Kerr.  After her two boys were in high school, she was employed at the old Trinity Lutheran Hospital radiology department and later in the doctors' private offices.   She continued her education specializing in medical computer billing systems and management at Community Colleges in Kansas and Missouri, finishing with Specialized System Operations at IBM.  She retired from Total Medical Management, a large radiology group, in 2002 after 28 years.  

In addition to activities at the boys' schools and professional organizations, she learned to appreciate bass fishing with her husband Ron, who was a Bass Club member for many years fishing in various tournaments.   They built a home at Truman Lake and enjoyed family picnics and holidays there fishing on the pontoon boat with friends and family.  

After Ron's death, she moved to Lenexa and became active in the Four Colonies Homes Association, volunteered weekly at Shawnee Mission Medical Center in the Pain Clinic, and met monthly with a group of old school friends that celebrated a 50 year anniversary of getting together.   She made some dear friends in the "cul-de-sac" that met weekly to do various entertainment activities.  

Survivors include son, Ronald Kerr (Marianne), son, Dean Kerr (Christine), three grandchildren, Eric, Kaylie (Jesse Allen), Michael (Morgan) Kerr and three great grandchildren; Sophia, Blake, and Delilah Allen.  She was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, Ronald Kerr, and her parents, Earl and Vera Anderson.  

After cremation, a private service will be held for family.   Fond memories and condolences may be left at Porter Funeral Homes www.porterfuneralhome.com.  Arr:  Porter Funeral Homes, 8535 Monrovia, Lenexa, KS  913-436-6444.
