Jerry Lee Keys, 83, of Pyatt, Arkansas passed away on March 31, 2025 in Mountain Home, Arkansas.

A woman of simple joys, Jerry had a deep love for hunting treasures at thrift stores and garage sales. She especially delighted in finding antique jewelry, a passion that brought her much happiness. Jerry was also a woman of faith, a Baptist who loved reading and quoting scripture.

She was preceded in death by her husband, George; her parents, Charlie and Vesta Richardson; her sister, Margie and her brothers, Homer and Jimmy Dale.
.
Jerry will be remembered for her loving spirit, her deep faith and her joyful presence. She leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion that will continue to inspire her family and all who knew her.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

Ms. Jerry was one of my first customers when we opened the store in Pyatt. She was a lovely lady and I loved talking with her. She gave me a flower with a little note on my desk when I came back from surgery and I still have it. It is in my office and I look at it everyday. Once I got moved to another store she kinda followed me to mountain home. I was so happy to see her in my store and she remembered who I was. She will be very missed and always will be loved.

Dear George and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mother was a one of kind and had the most gentle spirit I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Kindness just seemed to fall around her wherever she went. That laugh could brighten even the most sour of days. She loved her treasures that's for sure, but she would give them away in a heartbeat if she found anyone admiring them. A great loss for this world and a huge win for Heaven. Prayers to y'all.
