Mary Kathleen Kerr, 49, died on June 16 after a long illness. Mary was born Dec. 8, 1962 and raised in Houston, Texas, the youngest daughter of Loretta and Robert Kerr.
She graduated with Class of 1982 at Westchester High School, and moved to California after graduation, and then Butte, Mont., turning her natural gift in the kitchen into a lifetime of creating the kinds of meals people never forgot. Mary loved sharks, horses and lived as she chose.
She is survived by her mother Loretta Kerr; her brother Robert Kerr; sister-in-law Sharon Kerr; sister Deborah Cathey; brother-in-law David Cathey; nieces Dianna Wray, Denise Cathey, nephew Nathaniel Kerr and wife Joanna Kerr. The funeral services are private and will be held Friday.

I never knew Mary (I was class of 81) but if she loved cooking and loved oceanography (sharks)....she was my kind of girl. May she rest in peace. Life is getting short for all of us. God bless. Greg Koch
