In Loving Memory of Kerry McGuire
December 5, 1980 – August 1, 2025
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of Kerry McGuire on August 1, 2025, at the age of 44.
Kerry was a beloved and devoted mother to Owen (10) and Isla (7), wife to Robert Aiken, and loving daughter of Denise and Austin McGuire. She will be profoundly missed by her brother Joey McGuire, sisters-in-law Laura Aiken and Kate McGuire, and her parents-in-law Geoff and Wendy Aiken. Her passing is also mourned by her extended family and the many dear friends whose lives she touched so deeply. A proud member of the Timiskaming First Nation, Kerry carried her heritage with grace and pride throughout her life.
She studied at Carleton University in Ottawa and went on to build a successful career in banking, specializing in credit risk management with CIBC, TD, and Scotiabank. Professionally and personally, Kerry approached everything she did with care, precision, and a deep desire to do things well, and was known for her integrity, diligence, and sharp intellect.
Kerry lived life with passion and curiosity. She was an avid traveler who found joy in exploring new cultures and relaxing on beautiful beaches. At home, she was a gifted baker and talented chef who delighted in experimenting with new recipes in pursuit of perfection. Her love of books, poetry, and thoughtful conversation reflected her inquisitive nature.
Dance held a special place in her heart, both as a former dancer and devoted admirer. In recent years, she developed a love for photography, capturing moments with the same creativity and care she brought to every part of her life.
Kerry’s generous spirit, warmth, and unwavering dedication to those she loved will be forever remembered. Her legacy lives on in the hearts of all who had the privilege to know her.
