Kerry brought kindness with her wherever she went. She was a true nurturer and had a natural giving spirit. Kerry was a wonderful mother, wife, aunt, sister, dog lover, and friend. She loved her husband and daughter immensely. But of all things, she loved being a mother until her last day on this earth. She protected and loved her daughter with all her heart and soul, which she will continue to do for the rest of her daughter's life. She felt she was put on this earth to be Olivia's mom. Kerry was, and is the epitome of a caring, loving, understanding, and gentle mother.
She has left us with nothing but beautiful memories. Through our sadness we know she is in heaven with her dad, and a good book. Her loss is truly felt on this earth, and she is missed beyond measure.

Kerry was not just a wonder wife and mother but a wonderful person. I’ll miss her high pitch “Joseph” when I came into the room where she was. I’ll miss her doting on Rick and Olivia and anyone that came to their home!! Kerry was always my champion and I think that’s what I’ll miss the most!! I love you Kerry!!!
