Kerri Lynn Nichols passed away peacefully after a valiant two and a half year long fight against pancreatic cancer. Kerri was well known for her artistry in tile, with many commercial and residential installations of her work found throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Kerri’s creative artistry and adventuresome spirit permeated all she did, from sailing from Seattle to Hawaii, to hunting for treasure, and to building forts for her sons and nephews.

Kerri is survived by her sons Masen Nichols of Vancouver and Matthew Nichols of Parkland; father Jerry Seals of Gig Harbor; and sisters Kimberley (Keith) Kemper of Edmonds; Kelli Seals of Burien; Kana Crealock of Sedro Woolley; and Kristina Seals of Renton. Kerri also leaves behind best friend Doug Walthers of Enumclaw, and numerous nephews and nieces.

Kerri is now celebrating with her Lord and Savior and mother Barbara Seals, likely shopping at all the best garage sales Heaven has to offer.
