Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 4, 2025.
Sharon Gail Kerr (née Beck), born on January 26, 1939, in Rugby, North Dakota, passed away peacefully on January 28, 2025, in Stark, Minnesota, at the age of 86. Sharon was surrounded by her loving son and daughter, as well as Kevin the cat, who brought comfort in her final moments.

Sharon was the beloved mother of Hedley Kerr Jr. of Harris, Minnesota, and Nancy Kerr Henneberg (Keith) of Minneapolis. She was a proud grandmother to Christopher Kerr of Grand Junction, Colorado, and Dylan Kerr-Johnson of Sunrise, Minnesota. Sharon's life was also deeply touched by the memory of her grandson Fletcher Kerr-Johnson.

She was predeceased by her parents, Ruth and Charles, her brother Bernard Beck, her sister Barbara Schaan, her husband Hedley Kerr Sr., her grandson Fletcher Kerr-Johnson, and her best friend Delores "Babe" Sudieth. Their memories remained close to Sharon's heart throughout her life.

Sharon's journey began in Rugby, North Dakota, where she was born into a family that shaped her values and character. Over the years, she built a life in Stark, Minnesota filled with love and resilience. Her legacy lives on through her children and grandchildren who carry forward the lessons she imparted.

May Sharon Kerr's memory bring comfort to all who knew and loved her.
