A  Remembrance of Kerri Ann Barrett

by her family

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Kerri Ann Barrett, who left us suddenly at the age of 44. Kerri was born on October 18,1980 to Cherryl Ann (Dudley) Barrett and Robert M. Barrett, Jr. Kerri was always a happy person who walked into a room and immediately brightened it with her beautiful smile and stunning blue eyes.

Kerri grew up in Northborough, MA where even as a child, Kerri showed remarkable intelligence, creativity, and a genuine concern for others. These qualities would continue to define her path and impact those around her. Kerri befriended anyone she met in high school and later went on to become a Nurse (LPN) while going to School at night, being a full time Mom and working two jobs at the same time. Kerri started working as a nurse in a variety of local doctor's offices. She then found her calling working at a local nursing home, where she received several accolades from her patients' families for the loving care she provided to them.

Kerri is survived by her only son, Jovani Michael Barrett of Northborough; her mother, Cherryl Barrett of Marlborough, MA; her father, Robert M Barrett ,Jr. of Sykesville, MD; her sister, Danielle Gagnon and husband Brian of West Boylston, MA and her nephews and nieces, Brian Gagnon, Colin Gagnon, Remi Gagnon and Hayden Marszalek.

A Celebration of Kerri's Life will be held on Saturday, July 26th, from 1-5pm, at the Marlborough Fish and Game Club, 1 Muddy Lane, Marlborough MA. Anyone that knew Kerri and would like to come by to share memories with us, are welcome. Please be sure to wear pink as it was Kerri's favorite color.

Kerri's passing leaves a void that cannot be filled. Her kindness, compassion and strength will be remembered by all who had the honor of knowing her.

"I'll see you when I see you

Oh, this may be

But I won't love you when I love you

No, that will always stay the same

I won't feel you when I feel you

Cause I feel you every day

But I'll see you when I see you!"
