In her free time, she enjoyed crafting, especially crafting gifts for her family and friends, and watching all of the Boston sports teams, especially the New England Patriots and the Boston Bruins. She had a passion for shopping and cherished her time spent in the company of her loving family, especially her adoring nieces and nephews.

In addition to her husband and mother, Kerry is survived by her brother, David Grimshaw of Lowell; her sister, Kate Albano of Lowell; her father-in-law, Robert Harrison of Dracut; three brothers-in-law, Johnathan Marcotte and his wife Amie of KS, Roger Marcotte of Lowell, and Donald Harrison and his wife Lyndsey of Texas; two sisters-in-law, Nicole Silva and her husband Tony of Fitchburg and Alicia Medina and her husband Nelson of Londonderry, NH; her nieces and nephews, Jasmine, Dylan, Johnathan, Antonio, Cassandra, Jocelyn, Dominic, Benjamin, and Andrina; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends.

My dear friend, it’s been almost 2 months and I still can’t believe you’re gone. It’s not right or fair. I cherish the friendship we had and all the great times were shared! We helped each other out during some dark difficult times. I’m so happy you got to marry the love of your life and live that dream for the last 10 years! You’re in my thoughts all the time as being one special lady! Love you my friend!

Such a beautiful person. She will truly be missed!

Kerry will be constantly missed! She lived life to its fullest and pursued career aspirations that most, under her circumstances, would have push to the side and forgotten; but, not her! She and her family were fighting a continuous battle that never sto

Kerry will be constantly missed! She lived life to its fullest and pursued career aspirations that most, under her circumstances, would have push to the side and forgotten; but, not her! She and her family were fighting a continuous battle that never stopped her from pursing her goals in life. NOTHING held her back from what she desired or felt the need to accomplish. I commend her strong-willed attitude, personal and professional accomplishments, and living everyday as if it was her last. Like the song saysIt's not what you take in life, its what you leave behind you! And, Kerry has certainly left a legacy in my mind and through her many accomplishments with MetLife and IASIU. My prayers are with her, her family and the many friends that she leaves behind.
