Jean Elda "Jeanie" Duerr Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Jean Elda “Jeanie” Duerr, age 83, of Altus, Arkansas passed away Tuesday June 21, 2022 in Altus. She devoted her life to growing in her faith and marriage working alongside her husband Tommy on the farm and in their retail liquor stores. Jeanie and Tommy were married March of 1962 at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Clarksville, Arkansas and were married for almost 55 years. While growing in her love for Tommy, the family, and trusting in God’s plan, Jeanie’s labor of love was canning and freezing so many vegetables each year from the garden. Jeanie was an amazing cook that enjoyed preparing countless meals straight from the farm, especially after mass on Sundays when all of her family gathered together. The endless examples of love for God, her husband, and her family are Jeanie’s legacy that we all carry with us each and every day. Jeanie was born July 5, 1938 in New Haven, Connecticut and was the 5th child of Russell Everett and Margaret Loretta Murray. She is preceded in death by her parents; her husband, the love of her life, Thomas Felix Duerr Sr.; one son, Thomas Felix Duerr Jr.; one daughter, Nancy Jane Duerr; and one sister, Nora McKown.
