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 a spirited entrepreneur, a dedicated International Logistics professional for 25 years, and a business owner who valued hard work and perseverance. She was an active part of her community, being a member of FitCon696 and an Areal 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 a yoga enthusiast, a Reiki practitioner, a humanitarian, an event planner, a spiritual healer, and a fervent lover of animals. Kerri is survived by her loving spouse, Kevin Brissette, her children, Jacob and Holly Brissette, her parents, John Appleton and Marie Apollonio, her step-parents, Diane Appleton and Russell Boisvert, her brother, Mark Appleton, her uncle, Vincent Apollonio, and her step-grandmother, Joyce Carlson. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Catherine and Joseph Apollonio and Mavis and William Appleton. Calling hours will be held at Brandon Funeral Home, 305 Wanoosnoc Road, Fitchburg, Massachusetts, on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, from 4-7 pm. A funeral service will take place at the same location on Thursday, January 30, 2025, at 11:00 am In remembrance of Kerri Appleton, we invite you to share your memories and upload photos to her memorial page. Let us continue to celebrate her life and the positive impact she has had on each of us. Remember, in the words of Dr. Seuss, "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." In memory of our beloved Kerri, let us not mourn her loss, but celebrate the love, joy, and warmth she brought to our lives.

As we prepare to say our 'see you again someday to Kerri, keep remembering her bigger than life smile, her laughter, her energy, and her great cooking. It was a blessing to get to know her and to love her.

Hearing the news of Kerri's passing brought me to tears. Even though I had only met her once for business last year. She was instantly likeable. I knew how amazing she must be without even knowing anything else about her. She had that aura. We stayed in touch a bit. I found out while wishing her a happy birthday last year, that she had just been diagnosed with cancer. I had no doubt she was going to beat it. She was such a fighter! I'm sooo sorry she lost that fight! I am honored to have known her if only for a short while. I'll never forget that amazing 1st impression. Smile on from above, Kerri! God Bless...

Dear Kevin and family please accept my deepest and most sincere condolences. I pray that The Lord is with you and comforts you as you mourn and also celebrate Kerri's life. She was and still is a beautiful soul, who brought joy to everyone who knew her. She is more alive now in the presence of God's light and glory than we are in this mortal world.
