Ann Kerby

On the 11th day of August, 2026, Lee Ann Kirby Kerby, of Pensacola, Florida, was called to her Heavenly home. She born February 2, 1957, in Pensacola, Florida, was the beloved daughter of Andrew Jack Kirby, Jr. and Emily Jean Cowham, both of whom preceded her in death.

Ann married Dennis Dean Kerby in August 1975; until his passing in 1999. She is survived by her sister, Mary Sue Davis, and Mary’s husband, Don Davis; her nephew, Royce Davis, and his wife, Koong, and their children, Matthew and John Davis; her niece, Kathryn Boyer, and her husband, David; and her niece, Ashley Ramsey, and her husband, Bryan.

Ann was also blessed with dear and faithful friends, including Debra Cobb, Chris Cobb, Jacob Cobb, and Teddy Salter, as well as Jeff Gardner and family, Doris Peterson, Georgian Robbins, Patty Myers, and many others whose lives she touched.

For 40 years, Ann served her community as a medical laboratory scientist at the local Baptist Hospital, including 30 years in the blood bank. There, she helped provide life-saving blood products for patients and trained many nurses and fellow laboratory technicians. Her work reflected both skill and compassion, and her dedication made a lasting difference in the lives of countless patients and coworkers.

Ann worshiped with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where she served as Primary President and Relief Society Secretary. Though she did not have children of her own, she lovingly encouraged and mentored many children through Church Sunday School, Cub Scouts, and her extended family.

Ann enjoyed swimming, reading, and decorating for the holidays. She also loved NASCAR races, country music festivals and concerts, and college football. She will be remembered for her devotion to family and friends, her faithful service, her generous heart, and the quiet, meaningful ways she cared for others.
