Dolores (Biron) Kerr, 93, passed away on February 28, 2024, after a long and fearless battle with cancer. She fought the disease with dignity on her own terms. She was the beloved wife of Kenneth B. Kerr Sr. for 52 years before his passing in 2004. She was the daughter of the late Joseph L. Biron and Yvette (Richer) Biron-Brouillette.
Dolores worked at Texas Instruments for 26 years as a quality control inspector before retiring in 1994. She enjoyed being a homemaker for her husband and six children.
Dolores was a communicant of St. Teresa of the Child Jesus Church in Pawtucket RI for over six decades. Her faith was a big part of who she was and that helped sustain her through many of life's challenges. Wherever she was, Dolores quickly made friends with her kindness and warm smile. She was never too busy to listen to someone in need.
Dolores was happiest spending time with her family. There was nothing better than being surrounded at Christmas with her children and grandchildren enjoying her daughter's stuffed mushrooms, or, enjoying the first grilled hot dog of the season at one of her son's cookouts.
She is survived by her loving children, Ann-Marie (Mark) Swartz, Kenneth Kerr Jr., Joseph (Mary Ellen) Kerr, Robert (Colleen) Kerr, Michael, and Stephen (Colleen) Kerr. She is also survived by her cherished grandchildren Ryan, Michael, Sean, McKayla, Eric and Katie Kerr and her dear sister Gloria DeHass.
