Christine Madeline Evans Kerr
August 28, 1964 ~ February 23, 2022
Christine Madeline Evans Kerr, age 57, of Aberdeen, NC passed away at her home, surrounded by her family on February 23rd, 2022, after an unforeseen battle with metastatic cancer.
Though born August 28th,1964 in St. Louis, Missouri, Christine spent the last twenty-eight years planting her roots in Aberdeen, North Carolina with her loving husband of forty years, Jeff Kerr.
Christine lead a meaningful and accomplished life. Even as a young child, she was intrinsically motivated and determined to break generational chains and pursue a faith-filled life. This was made evident by her pursuit to make it to church on Sunday, even if that meant walking the road by herself, to get there.
As a young adult and throughout her life, she prioritized the daily operations and success of their family owned business, while simultaneously being a devoted and attentive mother of two and an amazing wife. Her entrepreneurial spirit and work ethic were unmatched, but her ability to balance that while raising her family, was impeccable.
She is the mother of Jeffrey Kerr (36) of Cary, NC, Ashley Kerr Redden (32), and Son-in-love Brad Redden (39) of Waxhaw, NC. Christine wore the title of “Grammy” with honor as she fiercely loved & adored her two grand children, Hensley (6) and Anniston (4). All the while, Christine had deeply invested her heart into loving each of her nieces and nephews uniquely. She is survived by her sister Tina Evans, brother, Curtis Evans, sister, Linda Evans Tippin, sister, Teresa Evans and brother, Paul Burns.
Christine spent her entire life dedicated to the physical, mental and emotional wellness of others– all while dealing with her own diagnosis in 2008 of Multiple Sclerosis. She valued being a person of integrity, a reliable and trustworthy friend and an influential role model and advocate, making every child feel loved. The loss is immeasurable, but so is the love she left behind.

Mrs. Kerr was one of my biggest role models as a young child. The Kerr’s made me feel so welcome and loved. Mrs. Kerr will forever hold a special place in my heart for being one of the first to teach me what it means to live a genuine Christian life of being kind and selfless. She embraced all around her.
Sending Mr. Kerr, Jeff, Ashley, Brad & your family prayers for healing and peace.

I didn’t know until yesterday as Chris and I only texted. I met her because I knew her sister Linda. At Christmas one year she brought me a Christmas cactus inside a brass watering can. The plant is still alive and blooms about six times a year.
Chris and I had dinner two or three time and texted when MS or life screamed at us. I loved her as a friend even though I rarely saw her the last five years.
My heart goes out to every one.
