(Dumas) Howe, and graduated from Manistee High School with the class of 1977. She furthered her education at Central Michigan University earning an Associate’s Degree in Business in 1979. Kerry was employed by Scottville Savings Bank (West Shore Bank) until her health no longer allowed and was a member of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Scottville.
Kerry enjoyed being outdoors surrounded by nature. She loved to camp and canoe on the Pere Marquette River with her family, often capturing her memories thru photography and in her writings. In her high school days, she showed her school spirit as a cheerleader and member of the band. Her infectious laugh, love of music, dancing, and walking will be fondly remembered by her family.
