Not sure what to say?

Marianne was an independent and strong individual who had a lot of responsibility working with her father, Richard Kerr, President of Kerr Lakeside Inc. In the Accounting Department she was the Controller of the company. She will forever be remembered by all her colleagues.

I am just now learning of the death of my dear, loyal friend, Marianne, and am so saddened by her loss. The fun memories of escapades we engaged in, especially with my dogs, made our friendship unique because she had such an unusual, playful spirit which was still with her throughout her devastating disease. May she rest in peace, free of pain and limitations.

I had a long talk with Marianne prior to the 50 year Beaumont reunion. We both shared are life stories since graduating. What a brave soul she was with dealing with her Chronic disease. Rest In Peace.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

A loyal "Beaumonster" and friend! Kirby was the glue that kept us together!! Rest well my love

I remember Marianne from a mutual friend, Lois. She always had a kind word and a warm smile. Rest peacefully.

I admired Marianne's courage and positive outlook inspite of that dreaded disease. She will be missed. Marianne, I hope you are up there laughing with the loved ones we have lost.

Kerby will be truly missed. Our friendship began at JCU, continued as Theta Kappa sisters, 43 years ago she was in my wedding party then was of great support to me during my divorce 20 years later. Distance kept us miles from each other but we frequently spent hours on the phone catching up. I know she suffered during her final years with her illness. Now she´s at peace, finally out of her physical discomfort and probably directing all the `parties above´ with her cherished mom and dad in...

Losing a sister and an Aunt is very difficult and my deepest sympathy is extended to you all. Marianne fought her battles with the mysterious and debilitating disease of MS with courage. Her battle ended with her succumbing was one she could be proud. I was always inspired by her optimistic outlook whenever I met her at socials or reunions. May she find her peace and the family and friends be assured that she has.
