Keri's Obituary (6/18/2017)

Keri M Tullos nee ThIompson died peacefully June 17,2017. She was born January 28, 1959 in Little Rock to Squee and Mary Thompson, at St. Vincent Infirmary, the hospital where she spent her entire career as a Medical Technologist in the Hematology Laboratory. Keri was a graduate of Little Rock Central High, Harding University and UAMS. Keri is survived by her husband, Dan, son, Ian, sister, Alesa Garner, and a host of nieces and nephews. 

Keri and Dan spent their married life in Searcy as a vital part of the Harding University community and attended College Church of Christ. 

Keri and family had the privilege of many extended travel adventures on several continents. From childhood, Keri was a nature lover and a friend to all creatures. She loved cooking and entertaining and was known for her sweets at Christmas. Keri was an avid fossil hunter, natural artist and sketcher, and a very precise softball pitcher. She and Dan loved Scottish Country Dancing and working with the Boy Scouts. She lived large, laughed loudly, and loved passionately. Keri was the most kind, gentle and sensitive soul whose absence will be felt by many.

 I tried to do the obituary but it was so template-like so I asked Alesa if she could help. This is what she came up with. This is exactly what we needed.
