Kerry gave so much of herself to the people and communities around her. A GoFundMe has been created to help support Christopher and honor Kerry’s memory.

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.
A life of love and adventure

Riding for Something Bigger
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.
