Bobby Ray Franklin

Bobby Ray Franklin was born on September 23, 1942 to William and Dovie Franklin in McCamey, Texas. He was the youngest of three children.

His family moved to Eunice, New Mexico when he was in grade school. During his time there he was active on the football team helping the Eunice High School Cardinals win two New Mexico 2A State Championships. After graduation from high school, Bobby attended Lubbock Christian University.

He eventually settled his roots in Odessa, Texas where he met the love of his life, Martha Lay. They were married on May 13, 1989 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Together they built a great life revolving around lots of love and family. His most honored roll was “Papaw” to his grandchildren.

Bobby was an avid outdoorsman of hunting and fishing. He also enjoyed trying his luck at the casino. Marble games, dominoes, cards, and puzzles were some of his favorite pastimes. He was a life long sports fan watching everything from college to professional sports. His love of sports flowed into coaching his son, Brian’s league baseball team every single season. Bobby retired from Black Warrior Wireline after 30 years of employment.

Bobby was a believer in Christ. He was a member of the Vine Baptist Church of Odessa and often opened his home to host the prayer meetings for the church. He was baptized in 2022. The family finds peace in knowing that he is healed and reunited with his love of 30 years, Martha Marie.

He is preceded in death by his parents, wife, siblings: William Franklin Jr. and Nancy Lamb; brothers-in-law: William Lay, Charles Tarver, Dwayne Humble, TB Lay Jr., and John Lamb; sisters-in-law: Billie Hampton, Melba Tarver, and Wanda McKnight.

Bobby is survived by his son: Brian Young and wife Britni of Odessa; daughters: Christina Nguyen-Franklin and wife Swannie of Del City OK, Michelle Jenkins and husband Shane of Rocksprings, and Stephanie Harkrider and husband Jeremy of Frisco.

He is also survived by sisters-in-law: Donna Humble, Jimmie Sanders (Phillip), Pattie Lay, and Jeanell Franklin; grandchildren: Zackary Woody, Brittany Marsh (Levi), Christopher Palmer (Brandi), Damon Palmer (Erin), Colby Jenkins, Trey Lopez, Cameron Jenkins (Suzette), Caleb Monti, Braden Young, Jayslin Young, Shailynn Young, Madilynn Young, and Graham Young; great-grandchildren: Austin, Brody, Karter, Addison, Chandler, Lynnlea, Jade, August, and Ryker; and host of nieces and nephews.

Bebe Doris Shelton Kerr

Bebe Doris Shelton Kerr passed away peacefully in her home in Frisco, Texas, on July 29, 2025, at the age of 96. Born on February 24, 1929, in Hamlin, Texas, Bebe lived a full and vibrant life dedicated to family, faith, and service. She was surrounded in her final moments by her loving husband of over 74 years, Dan Kerr, and their devoted family.

Bebe attended Abilene Christian University, where she developed lifelong friendships. Bebe was an active member of the Beta Sigma Phi sorority and was recognized as Lady of the Year several times. Her passion for community and history led her to volunteer for many years at the Petroleum Museum and the George W. Bush Childhood Home Museum, both in Midland, Texas. She also served her community through her work in the special education department of Ector County Independent School District, where she touched the lives of countless children and families.

Bebe’s greatest joy came from being with her family. Alongside Dan, she raised their three sons—Gary, Richard, and Ed—primarily in Odessa, Texas, after time spent in Denver City. Her home was a place of warmth, laughter, and cherished memories. In 2021, she and Dan moved to Frisco to be closer to family in her later years.

She is survived by her beloved husband Dan Kerr; her son Richard Kerr and his fiancée Maria Agostino; granddaughters Crystal Lyons (husband Ron) and Courtney Brooks (husband Shawn); and great-granddaughter Reese, daughter of Crystal. She is also survived by her son Ed Kerr and his wife Jeannette; their daughters Ella Dror (husband Azriel), Re*****on Rabins (husband Joel), and Chessa Munoz (husband Diego); and great-granddaughters Sarina and Zara, daughters of Ella and Azriel.

Bebe is also lovingly remembered by her daughter-in-law Janet Kerr, and her grandsons from Gary and Janet: Daniel Kerr (wife Denise), Chris Kerr (wife Amy), and Michael Kerr. Her legacy continues through her great-grandchildren: Kylee and Kasen (children of Daniel and Denise), Jackson and Nathan (children of Chris and Amy), and Jaycee Kerr (daughter of Michael). She was preceded in death by her beloved son Gary Kerr.

Bebe will be remembered for her strength, her generosity, her gentle spirit, and the deep love she had for her family. Her presence will be missed dearly, but her legacy lives on in all who had the privilege to know and love her.
