Kerri Lynn Cuocci (née Hammer), 53, of Scotch Plains, NJ, passed away peacefully on Thursday, August 21, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on June 1, 1972, in Bay Shore, NY, Kerri was the beloved daughter of Rose (née Costa) and Gerald Hammer. She spent much of her life in Hoboken, NJ, before moving to Scotch Plains, five years ago with her family.

Kerri was a proud graduate of the University of Rhode Island, where she earned her bachelor's degree. She went on to build a successful career as the Human Resources Director at Barnes & Noble in New York City.

Deeply committed to giving back, Kerri was an volunteer at the Hoboken Homeless Shelter, where she dedicated her time and heart to helping others. Her warmth, generosity, and vibrant spirit touched all who knew her.

Above all, Kerri was devoted to her family. She is survived by her beloved husband, Dennis Cuocci; her cherished son, Luca Cuocci; her dear sisters, Sherri Medile and Laurie Hammer and niece Alyssa Issac & nephews Nicholas and Anthony Medile. She was predeceased by her parents, Rose and Gerald.

A celebration of Kerri's life will be held for the family at a later date. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made in Kerri's memory to https://donate.metavivor.org/give/318818/#!/donation/checkout
