She was born on January 2, 1957 in Cranston, RI, daughter of Harold Pierce and the late Mary (Ratcliffe) Pierce. Kerry grew up across the country while her father served in the US Navy, spending time in Tennessee, Illinois, and even several years on Guam.

She was most recently employed as a Dispatch Supervisor at Crystal Motor Express in West Springfield, MA. Kerry was an avid genealogy researcher, and found pleasure in sewing, crocheting gifts for family and friends, and NASCAR. Above all else, she had an undying love for her family, including her cat Mitzi. She is the beloved mother of Garrett Ebersole and his wife, Kate of Hamden and Candice Ebersole of Southington; and is also survived by her uncles, Joseph Ratcliffe of Danielson and Samuel Ratcliffe of Warwick, RI; and her former husband Charles Ebersole.
