She was born April 20, 1968, in Wabash, Indiana and passed away January 22, 2016 at the age of 47 due to complications from a brain tumor. There will a private family service held at a later date.
Kerri was a 1986 graduate of Sabine High School. She attended Kilgore College and Houston Community College. After college she worked at a number of area restaurants and was a manager for Red Lobster and El Chico’s. She was a talented artist and loved writing. Her favorite saying was “If you see someone without a smile give them one of your's”.
Her niece nicknamed her Aunt Carrots, a name we say with a smile. The joy of her life was her son, nephews and niece. Anyone who knew Kerri knew what a kind, caring and compassionate heart she had.
Those left to cherish her memory is her son, Dalton N. Jones of Austin, TX, Mother, Patricia (Pat) Mizell of Longview; Father, David Monroe of Kilgore; Sister and Brother-in-law, Genia and Jason Horn of Spring Hill; Sister, Patti McDonald of Gladewater.
