Kerri Childress served as our Vice President of Communications for five years. Sadly, she lost her battle with pancreatic cancer in October 2019. Kerri was an amazing lady who brought sincerity, honesty, and love to everything she did... and every story she told. Her contributions, and her life, are an important part of the Fisher House story. We loved her and miss her presence in the Fisher House family. —Ken Fisher This story originally ran in September 2016. It was a favorite of Kerri's. A final story by her, “Former Army Medic Donates $10,000 Award to Fisher House Foundation,” can be found on page 7.
