Farewelling our much loved Kerri-Anne

Hi all, My name is Narissa. I have created this GoFundMe on behalf of my older cousin Leonie who is preparing to say goodbye to their eldest daughter Kerrie-Anne who suddenly passed away on the 17th of November 2024.

Kerri-Anne was well known and a very loved person who knew a lot of people. She met these people through travelling away for work in NSW, Canberra and also through her current role at Doomadgee State School.

The family have decided to have the Funeral in Doomadgee. For those who may not know, Doomadgee is a remote Aboriginal Community in the Gulf of Carpentaria, approx 140km east of the NT Border and approx 433km North of Mount Isa.

As my nieces passing was so sudden I want to help to organise getting a beautiful coffin sent up. In speaking with her Mum their wish is to send their big girl off in a beautiful white coffin covered with lovely purple butterflies.

Due to the distance and logistics of getting the coffin there, we would like to reach out for some help from people who knew Kerri-Anne to ask if you would be able to give some money towards this. By giving what you can afford will help even if you do not think it is alot.

A date has not yet been set for the funeral, we will advise once we know.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
