Kerri Appleton

Kerri Lisa Appleton, lovingly known by her friends as "Apples", was a beacon of light in the lives of many. Born on July 21, 1972, in Leominster, Massachusetts, Kerri was a charismatic soul who charmed everyone she met with her vivacious spirit. Her boundless love and inspiring presence touched the lives of all who knew her, making the world a better place through her acts of kindness and compassion. Kerri's spirited personality was a testament to her resilience and zest for life. As Maya Angelou once said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Kerri lived by these words, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of the many people she encountered throughout her life.

Kerri was an entrepreneur and a business owner who valued hard work and perseverance. She was an active part of her community, being a member of FitCon696 and a Yoga Instructor at Home and Heart Studio with @HomeTownYogi, her enthusiasm and dedication never faltering. Kerri was also a dedicated mother, her children were her world, and she infused her household with warmth and love. Her passions extended beyond her professional life; she was also an aerial yoga enthusiast, a Reiki practitioner, enjoyed a competitive game of golf, a humanitarian, an event planner, a spiritual healer, a fervent lover of animals, and hated to lose any type of game.

Kerri is survived by her loving spouse, Kevin Brissette, her children, Jacob and Holly Brissette, her mother Marie Apollonio, stepfather, Russell Boisvert, father, John Appleton stepmother Diane Appleton, brother, Mark Appleton, sister in law, Lesley Appleton, brother in law and wife, Buzz and Kat Brissette and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
