A Celebration of Kerri’s beautiful life will be held at 11:00 a.m. this Thursday, September 12, 2024, at MORE Church, 5511 W. Amarillo Blvd., Amarillo, Texas.
Winning doesn’t always look the same. Kerri has won her battle with cancer.
“Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death is your sting?” (1 Cor. 15:55)
Kerri remains the victor, just as she did on the earth. In her own words, “I am a professional, feminine woman. I love traveling, thunderstorms, cooking, theatre, sports, and laughing until it hurts, and of course, the beach with my toes in the sand.”
She loved family time with her “Stinkie” (niece) and “Thunder Wonder” (nephew.) She always had a DIY project going, oftentimes, more than one!
Last, but not least, Kerri spent over 30 years as a Registered Nurse, educating and inspiring young nurses. In the last 10 years, Kerri served as the Director of Professional Services for BSA Hospice of the Southwest. Kerri loves her Hospice team!
Kerri is survived by her spouse, Mandy, and a spoiled dog, Oakley Grace; her mother, Maryiln Clemens of Amarillo; her brother, Justin Clemens and wife Sandy of Corpus Christi; her sister, Kelee Pride and husband Jordan of Bushland; her father-in-law, Gary Morton; her mother-in-law Suzie Morton; her sister-in-law, Cody Morton; her nieces and nephews, Connor, Caleb, Callie, Cody, Kyla, Chase, Chloe, and Thunder, as well as great-nephews, Ashton, Carter, and coming soon, Rowen. Kerri is also survived by many friends whom she considered family.
In lieu of flowers, you may donate to BSA Hospice of the Southwest in Kerri’s memory. donations – BSA Hospice (hospicesouthwest.com)

We only met briefly on vacation in Mexico but I could feel she was a kind soul. My thoughts and prayers are with Mandy and all her relatives and friends.
I went to nursing school with Kerri at Amarillo College. She became an awesome nurse and all her patients were blessed to have her care for them. Over the years our paths would cross a few times. We shared some very fun times in school She will be missed.
