Our Deepest Condolences

​Kerr, Marilyn (née Bertrand) 1952 - 2021

The family announces with sorrow her death in Sudbury, Wednesday November 10th, 2021 at the age of 69 years. Daughter of the late Arthur and of the late Marion (née Mallott) Bertrand. Beloved wife of Larry Kerr. Dear mother of Tammy-Ann Jarmolinski (William "Bill") and Jonathan (Pierre). Sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her grandchildren Kathleen and April. Sister of Shirley Ford, Vera Coulombe (late Maurice), Debbie MacLeod (Tobby), Kim Bertrand (Shirley), and Bonnie Bertrand.

After graduating as an adult from College having studied social work, Marilyn worked at a Women’s Crisis Centre in Sudbury and later at Enaahtig Healing Lodge, becoming eventually the Program Manager. Marilyn was very active in her Community of Christ Congregation where she humbly shared her musical talents by playing the pump-organ for services and occasionally graced us with her beautiful singing voice accompanied by her guitar. She carried an unwavering faith in her Lord, which helped to endure the recent illness, assured of her eternal rest.

A Heartfelt thank you to all family and friends for their care and compassion for Marilyn during the past years as she battled courageously with her health issues. Due to pandemic conditions a celebration of life will be held at a later date. Arrangements in care of the Theoret-Bourgeois Funeral Home, Sturgeon Falls.
