Nora Kerr Obituary
Zanesville - Nora May Kerr, 70 of Zanesville, passed away peacefully Dec. 28, 2019 under the exemplary care of the Genesis Hospice Morrison House. Nora was born March 1, 1949 to parents Randall (Clemet) and Gladys Kerr. After graduating from Zanesville High school she spent most of her life doing volunteer work for many organizations in the the community such as Helping Hand and Muskingum County Head Start. Nora was considered to be a "social butterfly" by many for her ability to turn strangers into instant friends and entertain all with her love of dancing. Surviving are her daughters: Yvette Kerr, Ebonie Norris, Ivorie (Lamar) Harris, and Lacie Norris. Nora also was the proud Grandmother of 10 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren, with another on the way. She was preceded in death by her brother Randy and her parents. Folowing her request, a cremation will take place. The Hillis, Combs & Nestor Funeral Home is honored to be serving the family.

I barely knew Nora. But back in our time in high school in the late 60s, I was an awed admirer. She lead the way for all of us with her progressive attitude and her love and acceptance of others. She seemed fearless, and independent! And what a dancer.....

I knew Nora in high school and we spent many a Saturday nights dancing at the dances around town. She was always happy and the life of the party and so much fun to be with. You will be missed so go and dance in Heaven .

For such a small community, news seems to escape me. Sorry for this delay in responding. Your mother, Nora was and will be always be remembered as a most beautiful girl/lady, inside and out. There was never a time I seen her that she wasn't smiling, and describing life in a positive way. I met Nora as a teenager, in the early 70's, off and on throughout ,and recently crossed paths about two months ago. I'm only sorry we hadn't spent more than a minute together. I may have learned that she was going thru an ordeal. May the Lord provide peace, mercy and grace to those she has left. You'll be missed my friend. Rest now in your heavenly sleep...
