It is with heavy hearts that we mark the passing of Kerri Gallop (Shrider), a beloved member of our community whose presence was a shining beacon of kindness, love, and selfless service.
Kerri was not just a neighbour or friend—she was a pillar of compassion and connection. Whether she was organizing or participating in local events, checking in on seniors (our beautiful Vi), or lending a helping hand to anyone in need, Kerri gave her time and her heart without hesitation. Her warmth radiated through every smile, every act of generosity, and every quiet moment of encouragement she offered to those around her.
She understood that community was more than just geography—it was about lifting each other up, and in that, she led by example every day.
As we grieve her loss, we also celebrate the extraordinary legacy she leaves behind: her children, family and friends, but also a legacy of unity, of caring, and of love that will continue to inspire us all.
May we honour Kerri by carrying forward the spirit she embodied so naturally—by being kind, by being present, and by never underestimating the power of a good heart.
Her smile will live on in all of our hearts and through her two amazing sons.
With deepest sympathy and gratitude,
Sarah Mahon
