Kerry Iyer Obituary
May 31, 1972 - November 26, 2025
Kerry Ann Iyer, beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister, and aunt, born on May 31, 1972, in Des Moines, Iowa, passed away peacefully on November 26, 2025, at the age of 53, surrounded by her family in Lincoln, Neb., after fighting valiantly for four years against cancer.
Kerry married the love of her life, Satish Iyer, on October 10, 2010, in Des Moines. Together they created a home filled with warmth, laughter, and unwavering support for all who entered their lives. Kerry's greatest joy was caring for her family, especially in watching her son, Ian (14), play baseball. She also enjoyed scrapbooking, crocheting, and any hobby that allowed her to create something meaningful for those she loved.
Before starting her own family, Kerry devoted herself to caring for her grandmother, Dorothy McCormick, a role she embraced with tenderness and devotion. She was cherished by her nieces and nephews, whom she helped care for throughout the years. Family was the heart of Kerry's life, and she found her deepest happiness when surrounded by those she loved.
Kerry received her formal education in Medical Records Billing and Coding from Indian Hills College and later earned her certification as a Medical Records Coder through the American Academy of Professional Coders. She worked with dedication and focus throughout her career, ultimately serving with Baylor, Scott and White Hospital Systems before medically retiring in 2023.
Kerry is survived by her loving husband, Satish, and their son, Ian; her mother, Kathleen Lynne Maddox, and Kathleen's husband, Dannie Maddox; her father, Nicholas Ruben Medina Sr.; and her three brothers: John Medina, Nicholas Medina Jr. (husband of Dannette), and Michael Medina (husband of Stacy). She is also survived by many cherished nieces and nephews. Kerry was preceded in death by her grandparents, John Thomas McCormick & Dorothy May McCormick, as well as Joseph D. Medina & Rose Mary Medina.
Private services were held on Wednesday, December 3, 2025. Interment at College View Cemetery, Lincoln.
Kerry will be remembered for her strength, kindness, and generosity. Her love continues to live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.
