Shelby Marie Kerr
September, 2000 – August, 2024
It is with great heartache that we are sharing that Shelby Marie Kerr has gained her wings. Shelby is survived by her mother, Leeann Kerr; her father Todd Eiter; her big brother Zach and half-brothers Micheal and Carter. Shelby is also survived by her aunts Robin and Rhonda, and numerous cousins, Corrina, Justin, Kennedy, Madison, Taylor and Jackson; along with many other friends and family. Shelby was preceded in death by her uncle Kenny, and her grandmothers, Sherry and Joanne.
Shelby had a contagious smile and could fill the room up with her laughter, she was tenacious and goofy and was always asking questions and seeking answers. Shelby grew up in the meeting halls of NA, she easily made friends with the other kids, and enjoyed camping, dances and all the other family events that NA put on. Shelby was Leeann’s side-kick and they rarely were apart, they learned together how to navigate and grow up as a mother and daughter. Shelby was loyal especially when it came to her family or friends, she had a warm, loving heart
When Shelby reached adulthood, she spread her wings and explored what and where she wanted to be in life, with that freedom, it sometimes brings struggles. Although Shelby did struggle, she knew she was loved and her family was her biggest supporter, and she would do her best to stay in contact with them.
With the heartbreak this brings for Shelby’s friends and family, please if you are struggling with substance use, mental illness or thoughts of suicide please reach out. In lieu of flowers, would you please honor Shelby and donate to the National Suicide Prevention, samhsa.gov.
