John Anderson Kerr was born November 15, 1939 in Dewar, Oklahoma to Thomas and Juanita (Crosby) Kerr. He passed from this life on Tuesday, March 17, 2026 at home. He was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas and Juanita, his son John Chuck Kerr, his sister Elizabeth "Betty" Dodge and his like-a-brother Carlton Dodge.

John graduated from Dewar High School in 1958. A standout athlete for the Dragons, he was even offered a scholarship to play college football.

John married Margie Mangrum in 1958. Two children were born to this union, Teresa and Chuck.

In 1989, John married Wilma Cantrell Floyd and gained a son and a daughter, Jimmy and Julie.

John's childhood was spent with his favorite grandfather, John Crosby. Summers on Beaver Mountain in Haskell county was spent with Grandpa. Young John spent many hours in the woods learning to hunt with his Uncle John Henry. His love of hounds began at that time, and continued for most of his life until he was no longer able to care for dogs. He was the happiest when he was in the woods chasing a rac**n with Doyle Burden, or running rabbits with Joe Peavler. From c**n hounds to beagles, he loved the sound of the hunt, with a good bawl mouthed bluetick being his favorite sound. John’s love of guns and hunting was passed down to all his grandsons.

John's paternal grandfather was a Scottish immigrant, coming from the Old Country in the early 1900's. His Scottish traits of a strong mind, (some call it stubbornness), a good work ethic and family importance was passed down to John.

John also loved horses, even trying his hand at calf roping. Many miles and many hours were spent at local roping’s, as well as at the local brush arena with friends. His favorite tv channel was the Cowboy Channel where he could watch rodeos all year long.

A hard worker and a dependable employee, John had jobs from PPG, to propane truck driver, and was a long-time devoted employee of Colley and Company in Henryetta until his retirement. His most notable and historic employment was working on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline in 1976. He had many stories of mountains and snow and bears on the right-of-way. There were many important dates in John’s life, but none more important than April 1, 2020, when he became a baptized believer.”

John leaves behind a loving wife of 36 years, Wilma; daughter Teresa Lewis (Jerry), daughter Julie Aldridge (Richard), son Jimmy Floyd (Leah Ann). Also, ten grandchildren including C**t Kerr, Ian Lewis, Travis Lewis (Dottie), Kayla Jones (Beau), Reagan Kerr, Savannah Kerr, Brandon Floyd (Shannon), Garrett Floyd (Brylee), Rhett Aldridge (Tempest), Garret Taylor. John was blessed with 12 great grandchildren.

Obituary for Heda Barnard
Heda Rae Barnard, age 50, passed from this earth on February 23, 2026 in Henryetta. Born May 7, 1975 she was the fourth of five children--- strong willed-, hardworking and a natural born leader.

She was preceded in death by her grandmother, Maude Kemp; her mother Karen Smith; her sister Hope Smith; and brother Donnie Blood. Also, a niece Madison Grace Blood.

Heda leaves behind her loving husband of 15 years, Jason Barnard. As Jason lovingly said “We were supposed to fuss and fight for another 20 to 30 years”. Their marriage was built on loyalty, humor, strength and deep love.

She is also a lovingly remembered by her mother-in-law, Carmel Barnard, whom Heda supported in countless ways and was always willing to help when needed.

She is survived by her brothers, Dean & Nicole Blood, Derrick Lemkuhl and Renea, Tony Lemkuhl; her uncle Mike Tolbert and wife Cindy, as well as many cousins, nieces, nephews and extended family members whose lives she influenced in meaningful ways.

She will be most deeply missed by her daughters, Autumn and Madalyn; her nephew Harley Joe; her great niece Tyla and her great nephew, Kassen. To those closest to her, she was known by many cherished names- “Mom”, “Uncle Heda” and simply “Heda”. Each name carried love, protection, strength and the feeling of home.
Heda built her career in the food industry and spent the last 10 to 15 years working in health and nutrition, serving meals to the elderly. She was recruited to work for the Creek Nation by her friend and neighbor, Tonya Trujillo- a simple message that led to work she truly loved. For the past three years, she served in elderly nutrition with the Creek Nation taking pride in providing not just meals, but dignity and care for those she served.

At home she especially loved “supervising” her husband. She never hesitated to tell Jason exactly how something should be done- even if he had done it many times before. She just didn’t want him to forget. It was part of their rhythm, their laughter and deep connection shared.
Her door was always open. She welcomed people in, offered help when it was needed, and showed up without hesitation. To Heda, family was not only blood-it was commitment, loyalty and presence.
She touched countless lives with her strength, humor, and fierce love. She will be deeply missed, forever loved and never forgotten.
