Betty Jean (Kerr) Whitten

Betty Jean Whitten, 88, of Concord, passed away July 9, 2020 at St. Andrew’s Assisted Living Center. Born November 20, 1931 in Iredell County, she was the daughter of the late Flake and Sarah Riley Kerr. Her beloved husband, William “Wimp” Whitten preceded her in death November 7, 2016

Betty spent her working years as a supervisor at the former Cannon Mills. She loved shopping and was a huge Carolina Tarheel fan. Betty was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church of Kannapolis as well as a member of Wesley Fellowship. Perhaps her greatest accomplishment was being a terrific mom to her son Jeff.

Betty is survived by her son, Jeff Whitten of Kannapolis; special friends, Vickie and Brandi Voncannon; and her furbaby Coco.

A graveside service to honor Betty’s life will be held Friday, July 17, 2020 at 11:00 AM Carolina Memorial Park. Pastor Chris Wallace will officiate.

The family would like to extend special thanks and gratitude to all of the staff at St. Andrew’s Assisted Living Center for the care they provided to Betty during her time there.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests memorials be made to St. Andrew’s Assisted Living Center, 246 Cabarrus Avenue West, Concord, NC 28025.
