Kerry grew up the second of five siblings in metropolitan Detroit where she attended St. Norbert Elementary School in Inkster and Sacred Heart High School in Dearborn, Class of 1968. 

Kerry spent most of her working career as a legal secretary at several law firms in Detroit, Lansing, and Traverse City, Michigan. She and her husband Gerry moved to Traverse City and were married in August of 1993. They spent their married life happily enjoying all that northern Michigan has to offer with family and friends visiting them often at their East Bay condominium. 

Kerry was a huge sports fan and especially loved football, both college and pro, as well as tennis. She loved watching the Grand Slam events, and rarely missed a football game on TV. She was also an avid golfer and loved to challenge her three brothers on the golf course. Kerry was always reading and loved science fiction and detective series in particular. Kerry will be remembered for her infectious laugh and outspoken personality. 

No services will take place, as Kerry requested, but we do appreciate your love and support during this difficult time. 

You may make a donation to the American Cancer Society in her honor as an alternative to flowers.
