It is with great sadness that the family of Kerri Anne Mazzaroppi Crumb announces her passing on Thursday October 17, 2019 at the age of 49. Surrounded by her loving family Kerri succumbed to metastatic breast cancer which she had bravely fought for 9 years. Born April 12, 1970, Kerri grew up in Middletown, New Jersey. A graduate of Middletown High School North she developed lasting friends that meant the world to her and whom she continued to hold close. After moving to Louisiana, she attended LSU, graduating with an education degree. Kerri met her beloved husband, Jason whose Louisiana family loves her deeply and for whom each one’s friendship, love and support was very precious to Kerri. Kerri lived in Metairie where she and Jason raised their amazing sons, Jason Jr. and Garrett, who were both adored and made Kerri extremely proud. Kerri loved the beach and enjoyed her many family vacations in Seaside, Florida as well as her annual visits back to the Jersey coast where she spent time with her sister and friends. Kerri was a teacher at George Cox Elementary in Belle Chase and later at Roosevelt Middle School in Kenner. As a teacher and head of the math department at Roosevelt she made a lasting impression on all her students, many of whom have remained in touch with her. Kerri and Jason proudly sent their boys to Jesuit High School where she was a volunteer at their Blue Jay House even after they graduated. Kerri was an avid scrapbooker where she would spend weekends with her friends cropping, journaling and laughing. These scrapbooks are now an everlasting reminder of her deep love for her husband, sons and family.
Predeceased by her mother and guardian angel Noreen Mazzaroppi, Kerri is survived by her loving husband and caregiver Jason, her amazing sons Jason Jr. and Garrett, her very dear father Phil Mazzaroppi of Prairieville, sister Tammy (Rick) Nelson of New Jersey, parents in law Bill and Mary Crumb of Kenner, brothers in law Bill (Dana) of Metairie, Dan (Janet) of Kansas City and Jonathan of Kenner. She also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and close friends who will remember her fondly. We are forever grateful to Jason Jr’s girlfriend Alexa Collins for her compassion and tender care she recently gave to Kerri.
