The Very Best This World Could Hold
Never Selfish, Always Kind
This Is The Memory You Left Behind.
Independent from the start
Kerry was fiercely independent from an early age. By 17 months old, she could carry on a full conversation, and by four she had started primary school. Even then, she was determined to do things for herself, including making and packing her own lunch for school.
At five years old, Kerry taught her younger brother, Lee, to ride a bike without training wheels. She was so proud of what she had accomplished and couldn’t wait to show Mum and Dad.
She loved football from a young age, was rarely seen without a tracksuit, and even traveled to North Carolina to play against a girls’ football team there.
Kerry was always willing to work, organize and take responsibility. She joined the Army Cadets at 13 and stayed involved until she was 16. She was adventurous too, sometimes a little fearlessly so. On one occasion, she climbed onto a roof and fell, breaking her foot.
But alongside that adventurous streak was a deeply loving and generous nature. Over the years, Kerry’s mum, Christine, fostered 57 children, and Kerry played an important role in helping care for and support them. She was always ready to help her family and those around her.
Kerry began working part time while she was still young, then started full-time work in a supermarket at 16. Within two years, she had become a supervisor, and by the age of 20 she was running her own shop.
In 2007, Kerry tried scuba diving for the first time. What began as a single introductory dive quickly became another passion. She completed her certifications, eventually becoming a dive instructor in the Cayman Islands. It was there that she met Christopher.

Riding for Something Bigger
The East Texas Showdown
Kerry had a remarkable way of turning even the hardest things into something that could help someone else. In 2025, while undergoing treatment for breast cancer, she returned to the East Texas Showdown and completed the grueling 400-mile race in 43 hours.
She finished 10th overall and second among the women, but for Kerry, the result was never really the point. She used the ride to raise awareness and support for BCS Fights Cancer, an organization helping local cancer patients access the care they need. Her effort raised about $15,000 and drew local news coverage from KBTX.
As Kerry told KBTX, she wanted to “show people what is possible” and challenge the idea that a cancer diagnosis had to define what someone could still do.
That ride captured so much of who Kerry was: determined, generous, fiercely active, and always looking for a way to make her own effort matter to someone else.

Work Hard, Play Hard
Kerry began her career in the United States in November 2010 when she joined Legal Monkeys, a medical records company that was still in its startup days. It was her first job in the U.S. after moving from the Cayman Islands where she had worked as a dive instructor. She started in an entry-level position with little formal leadership experience, but it didn’t take long for everyone around her to see something special in Kerry. She was one of the first employees promoted to Team Lead, and from the very beginning, she had a way of making the people around her want to be better, work harder, and believe in themselves a little more. Kerry often said that “you always have 20 percent more left in the tank,” even when your brain tells you that you don’t. She didn’t just say it—she lived it. She was always up for a challenge, and she brought that same spirit, determination, and energy to everything she did. She could take on something as incredible as cycling the Great Divide from the U.S./Mexico border all the way to the U.S./Canada border and then come into the office and turn the daily competition for a spot in line for the one shared scanner into a round of push-ups and burpees. That was Kerry. She was the true definition of “work hard, play hard,” and always managed to make everyone around her work a little harder, laugh a little more, and have a lot more fun along the way.
Kerry’s career continued to grow alongside the company. She helped lead the team through the 2019 acquisition to Lexitas, went on to become Director of Operations, then Vice President of Plaintiff Records, and ultimately President of Plaintiff Records and Workers’ Compensation. Along the way, she helped shape many of the processes and practices that are still part of the organization today.
More impressive than her titles and accomplishments though is the number of people she touched along the way. Kerry had an incredible ability to make people feel comfortable being themselves, while also pushing them to be more than they thought they could be. She wasn’t afraid of the hard conversations because she genuinely cared about the people on the other side of them. She believed in people, challenged them, laughed with them, and left them better than she found them. Kerry didn’t simply build a career—she helped build people, teams, and an organization, leaving behind a professional legacy that will continue through the many lives and careers she influenced.
