I had the privilege of meeting Kerry & Mike Wiltzius while visiting relatives that have been close friends of theirs for many years. My immediate & lasting impression of Kerry was that of a gracious hostess & excellent cook, with a great sense of humor & extremely devoted to her family. My deepest condolences go out to Mike & the Wiltzius family as they grapple with this incalculable loss.

Dear Mike, Dawn, Kara, Kati, and Families,
My heart ached when I read the news of Kerry's accident and death. I have biked, run, and walked over Peone Prairie for 47 years, and Kerry was one of my favorite early morning exercisers. We would pass frequently on our morning routes, wave, and say a word of greeting. The day before her accident we passed on Fairview and she said, Paddy, it's so cold today. I admired her tenacity and faithful spirit and always looked forward to seeing her...

My heart is saddened for Kerry's Family and many friends. She was indeed a special Woman. She will be missed, but never forgotten.

till my mind reels over the tragic reality of what has happened. In my humanness Ill never be able to make sense of it. Because I love and trust in the love of Christ, Im glad I dont have to. I need only trust in His unfailing plan. That doesnt mean Im done crying. I can barely look at my yard without tears coming to my eyes. My yard is covered in flowers from Kerrys yard and Ill think of her every time Im out trying to prune and thin them and cultivate them as she has tried so hard to teach...

Not really sure where to start. Kerry was one amazing grandma, she never forgot a birthday or to send a quick hello. She welcomed my son with open arms to her family and loved him unconditionally from the moment he arrived. She had a vibrant spirit, was proud to share recipes(especially the pie crust from her mama) and was so willing to help anyone who needed it. She is missed so much already. We send our love, thoughts, prayers and hopes for quick healing to Mike and the rest and of the...

Im so sorry to hear of Kerrys untimely passing. I was just thinking about how much fun our families had together as kids at Deer Lake. I pray that her family eventually finds peace. Go with God Kerry.

I will miss our garden digs and raspberry picking I will add them to my memories like growing up at the lake
I will miss you dearly cousin
Prayers and love to Mike and the family

Kerry was my friend and neighbor for 30+ years. Many neighborhood get togethers over the years were often hosted by Kerry. One of her specialties was smoked/bbq turkey for the after bloomsday party in their beautiful backyard. I always new she was an amazing lady but did not realize just how much until now. She leaves a large hole in our neighborhood, our community and in the hearts of many. Im sure her familys hearts swell with pride and break in two at the same time. All my love to the...
