Kerry grew up in Madison CT, USA where she enjoyed horseback riding and music. A graduate of Daniel Hand High School, she played the clarinet in the band, traveling with them to march in New York’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and Orlando, FL’s Disney World Parade. She was a graduate of Katherine Gibbs College in Boston, MA.
Moving to New Zealand, Kerry co-owned a restaurant before pursuing a career in employment counseling. She enjoyed exploring New Zealand by car and bicycling with her beloved husband Steve. At home, Kerry's pleasures were cooking, gardening, and her loved dogs. Kerry often spoke fondly of enjoying family events and holidays with Steve’s mother Mavis, his cousins Murray and Geraldine, and the rest of the Hunt family.
Kerry was also predeceased by her parents, Joan and Richard Vollmer. She is survived and loved by her siblings, Patricia and her husband Paul Montney of Randolph, NJ; Margaret Vollmer of Boston, MA; and Tom and his wife Kathleen Vollmer of Madison, CT. Kerry is also loved by her nieces and nephews: Rusty Montney, his wife Melissa, and their children Mae and Reid; Mark Montney; Richard Vollmer; and Emily Vollmer. We wish to express our deep thanks to the Hunt family for the love and care they gave Kerry.
Memorial Donations can be made in her memory to the Waipuna Hospice of Te Puna, New Zealand.
Calling hours will be held on Saturday, August 29th from 1-3pm at Swan Funeral Home, 825 Boston Post Rd., Madison.
