Kerry is a life member of the New Jersey State Firefighters Association. She also received the "Volunteer of the Year" award from the Mayor and Council in 2011. Kerry also serves on the Public Education Committee working with Fire Prevention providing valuable educational material about fire safety and prevention to the schools. She coordinates birthday parties for kids living in Ramsey that would like to use the Firehouse for their party. Many events are held through the year, such as "Touch A Truck", Fire Prevention week visitations, Ramsey Day, the Ramsey newcomers event at the pool, etc, where Kerry is always in the forefront making sure educational materials are set up with the tables for residents to take. Kerry is a person you can go to for projects in and around the firehouse. Every year she makes the banner for High School Graduates within the RFD family that is hung from the ladder truck on graduation day. On meeting nights, she usually would show up with something she baked at home.
