It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of Kerri Hawkins' unexpected passing in her beloved home, a place she cherished deeply. Kerri is survived by her devoted son Jeremiah, her daughter Rachelle, and a multitude of cherished family members who will forever hold her memory close.

For over 20 years, Kerri dedicated her life to serving the Stone County community as a teller and new accounts specialist. As a single mom, she worked tirelessly to provide a loving and stable environment for her children. Her pride in both Jeremiah and Rachelle was evident in everything she did. She admired the hardworking father that Jeremiah has become and took immense joy in her role as a Gamma to his four precious children. Though she longed to be more present in their lives, the distance from her family in Colorado weighed on her heart. Kerri made the brave choice to remain in Stone County to ensure that Rachelle had the support she needed, and their bond was always a source of strength for both.

Life, for Kerri and Rachelle, was often about facing challenges together. The recent loss has left Rachelle in a difficult position, trying to manage funeral costs and immediate expenses on her own. Despite her hard work to provide for herself, the burden of these unexpected expenses is overwhelming.

In this time of need, we’ve created a GoFundMe campaign to help ease the financial strain on Rachelle and honor Kerri’s legacy. If you feel moved to support Rachelle during this challenging time, any contribution would be immensely appreciated. Thank you for your kindness and support for the family during this heartbreaking moment.
