A memorial to our dear cousin Dean Cantrell, the former owner of the Keltonburg Grocery led a full life. She was born on April 20, 1924 at home in DeKalb County, Tennessee. We remember her parents Elmer and Ethel Hall. She was always active her entire life and two things she was most proud of was her grocery store and her love of being a nurse. She enjoyed her Sunday outing to the First United Methodist Church here in Smithville, not only by feeling closer to God but of sharing time with her family, and the companionship of friends and neighbors. She often said the best day of her life was when she married Gentry Lee Cantrell in 1963. Together they had five children, 3 sons and 2 daughters. Growing up in DeKalb County she shared many adventures with her three sisters and listening to stories her father would tell about growing up on his Daddy, Charlesβ farm and the strange customers who came into the grocery store where he worked when he was younger and being a truck driver for the county during the great depression. It was hard work but it fed the family and paid the bills which made him a hero in the eyes of Dean and her sisters. Besides Gentry her love of raising her children and watching them grow into wonderful adults and the sad loss of her daughter, Darlene.
