Kerry (October 19, 1959 – August 6, 2024) passed away at age 64 while residing in the Douglasville area of GA. 

Family members that preceded Kerry in passing were Danny Isbill (spouse of 42 years), Gerald “Sid” and Norma Jean (Cullen) Barnes (parents), Frank and Opal (Whaley) Cullen (grandparents), Gordan and Yoko Cullen (uncle and aunt), and Susan Cullen (first cousin). 

Kerry was born in Peoria, IL where she resided until the Barnes Family moved to Mossville, IL in 1970. She attended Mossville School and later attended Illinois Valley Central High School in Chillicothe, IL where she excelled on the track team. In 1976, the Barnes family moved to Loudon, TN where Kerry attended Loudon High School and met Danny Isbill. Both graduated in 1977, married in 1978, and had two boys, Jason (1980) and Justin (1984). The Isbill’s moved to GA in 1986 to start a lifelong adventure of raising their family, establishing close friendships, gardening, nonstop travel, hobby interests, and outdoor activities. 

Kerry was a longtime employee of Go Energy Financial Credit Union (GEMC) and faithful member of West Ridge Church of Dallas, GA.

Kerry had a unique way of keeping longstanding friends while adding new ones to her circle, and they all bonded and joined together to form a “Village” of camaraderie that would last her lifetime. 

Kerry is survived by her two sons (Jason and Justin Isbill), daughter-in-law (Heather Isbill), grandchildren (Dylan, Hanna, and Hunter Isbill),  brother (Craig Nowicki-Barnes) and cousins (Margaret, Rita, Janet and Joe Cullen, Greg, Ralph, and Amy Horak, and Brian Barnes), and that very special village of extended family and friends, from multiple states, that never left her side to include Jackie and Phil, Sharla and Chris, Jim and Lisa, Pat and Steve, Cindy, Renee, and Kimberly. 

Although we will continue to miss one of our favorites, we must remember and honor our time together and reflect on her life with us by celebrating her creativity and ability to make everything grow and blossom while humbly recalling, “Life Well Done.”
