Kerma and Jim lived in Arizona, California, and Texas before settling in Utah. They lived in Roy for over 50 years.
Kerma was a lifelong member of the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority where she loved the activities and community service. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints where she served and held many positions in all auxiliaries at ward and stake levels. She had a strong testimony of Jesus Christ and the power of prayer.
Jim and Kerma loved to travel and had taken many wonderful vacations with family and friends. She had a keen sense of humor and her positive attitude shined through. She had such a way of touching everybodys hearts.
