Ken Kerr Sr. Obituary
It is with profound sadness, we share with you that Ken Kerr passed away on December 28th, 2024 at the Grace Hospital in Winnipeg after falling in his daughter’s home.
The third child of David and Christena Kerr, Dad was born July 15th, 1930. Growing up, he helped his father on the farm and various farmers in the area before he was hired by the R.M. of Hamiota as a heavy equipment operator. Dad was very proud of his career building roads and loved to travel around the R.M. to see how they stood the test of time, often commenting that they looked as good as the day he’d built them. In his “spare time”, Dad sold and serviced Sylvania TV’s and satellite dishes.
He met the love of his life at a Bellringer’s dance, and married Alfrieda Smalley on 31 August 1951. Among the many stories he told, this was his favourite – how he asked if he could take her to lunch every Friday night and the little skip she made when she said ‘yes’! The sparkle in their eyes never diminished in their journey through life. They raised 3 children – Denise, Ken and Allan and took joy in a legacy of 10 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, and 5 great-great grandchildren.
Wherever they went, they went together, and death didn’t change that. One would not be buried without the other, and so, we bury them on what should have been their 74th wedding anniversary. ‘Together Forever’
The family would like to take this opportunity to thank the many EMT’s, doctors and nurses of Concordia and St. Boniface Hospitals, Health Sciences Centre and the Grace who tended to Dad’s needs. No flowers please; instead, if you so choose, please make a donation in his memory to your favourite charity.
Dad’s request was simply a graveside service and lunch. To those who knew our parents, please join us on August 31st, 2025 “about 2pm” at Hamiota Cemetery, and the Hamiota Community Centre afterwards.
Messages of condolence can be shared or candles may be lit using the Tribute Wall link.
