Kerri A Charland – best friend, soulmate and wife of Robert Charland, passed away peacefully on 4/11/2024 with her family by her side. A true warrior, of hope and strength who fought bravely and courageously!
Kerri loved traveling, music, and the home she shared with Bob for 33 years. Bob and Kerri spent many years traveling by bus, train, sea and air enjoying endless adventures in the US and Europe. Her true happy place was Disney. They spent many years exploring all 4 parks of Disney. Her favorite was Epcot where she continued her around the world adventures. Every time she went she found more adventures and magic!
She loved all varieties of music and would drag Bob to countless live concerts over the years. Top of the list was Rod Stewart and Queensryche, closely followed by Papa Roach, Five Finger Death Punch and Shinedown. (She was even a Swifty!). She was featured in Shinedown’s music video “Daylight”, where she will live on in the message to all NO ONE FIGHTS ALONE. (4:52).
Kerri leaves behind her loving parents Dominic and Margaret (Maggie) Campagna. Father-in-Law Raymond Charland. Sisters Denise Gafanhao and Husband Manny of Middleton MA. Andrea Ellis and husband Sean of Las Vegas. Nieces Erica Flynn, Shannon Gamble and nephews Maxwell Gamble Zachary Gafanhao, Brent Trudeau, Rory Trudeau, Matthew Charland.
Predeceased by her beloved dog Holly, with whom she meets at the rainbow bridge to accompany her on her next adventure.
As we bid farewell to Kerri we are reminded to embrace our own adventures, to cherish and hug our loved ones, and to live each day to its fullest. We say goodbye to Kerri, not with sorrow, but with gratitude for the time we shared and the memories we created. Her story is one of love, laughter, and a life well- lived. Rest in peace, Kerri our beautiful Warrior Angel. You will live in the
hearts of all who loved you.
