Obituary

In the early morning on Sunday, March 21, 2021 the Lord opened his loving arms and called Keri home.  Keri passed away while in surgery for respiratory complications.

Keri Amber Pearson (38) was born February 10th, 1983, to Steve and Debbie Sellers. The young family was excited to welcome the fourth of five children.  The first years of her life were spent in sunny and warm Southern California, always full of life.

While in California, Keri was surrounded with her loving Bustamante grandparents and cousins. Later, in 1991, Keri and her family moved to Oregon. There she enjoyed the company of her Sellers' family cousins. Keri shared many adventures and memories with her family and friends that will last forever.

In 2002, Keri met Steven Pearson, the love of her life, in Park City, Utah. They fell in love and decided to start a life together and were married June 21st, 2003. They had 4 wonderful children; Blaise, Brogan, Beau, and Sophie. Steven and Keri also opened their hearts and home to a young foster daughter, Bella for a couple years and loved her as their own. The love they shared as a family positively influenced the people around them. Those bonds are still strong to this day. 

Keri brought life and joy to all she came in contact with. She loved baking and everything she made was as delicious as it was beautiful. She had a fearless love for DIY projects, and her home is a great expression of her many talents. She enjoyed many adventures with Steven, friends, and family. Some of those memories include boating, camping, snowboarding, riding dirtbikes, and much more. She served in many capacities in her church, but her most recent calling she fulfilled was as a compassionate service leader, which fit perfectly with her giving spirit. 

Keri is survived by her husband Steven Pearson, her children Blaise (17), Brogan (15), Beau (12), and Sophie (9).  Her parents Steve and Debbie Sellers.  Her siblings Dustin (Deon) Sellers, Kyle (Elena) Sellers, Gina (Nick) Fredinburg, and James (Dezi) Sellers.  Her mother in law Mary (Bob) Pearson-Hill, and Steven’s siblings Jeremy (Vasty) Pearson and Annie (Jim) McCoy.

Keri touched many lives and she reached out in moments of need. We have all been lifted up in her brilliant light, and she was truly beautiful; inside and out. As she ministered to us during her life on earth, she will continue to be that loving angel that will help us in our struggles. Our love for Keri will burn bright forever, as we continue to feel her inspiring smile in our hearts.

Messages of Sympathy

  1. Gretchen (Brock) Christensen says:

    Keri was my Sunday school teacher when I was a youth. She always had a smile on her face and welcomed us to class so lovingly. She made extra effort to take us youth on boating trips and help us have fun and feel connected. My heart hurts for her family. Prayers and thoughts go out to them.
