Kerry Wilson, a beloved entertainer, tragically passed away at 56 after a sudden battle with the flu that led to severe complications
Stoke-on-Trent: It’s such a sad story. Kerry Wilson, a vibrant entertainer, has passed away at just 56 after catching the flu. She started feeling a bit under the weather, but things took a turn for the worse really quickly.
She was put into a coma after her symptoms worsened, and sadly, she didn’t make it. Kerry was known for her talent, winning a big TV show back in the day and appearing on various programs. She was a real local star.
Her mum, Linda, shared how heartbroken she is. Losing Kerry is just devastating, especially since she lost her son 30 years ago. It’s like a nightmare coming back. Kerry was always so lively and healthy, so this flu really caught everyone off guard.
Linda mentioned that Kerry had never been in the hospital before. She just felt a little sniffly at first, but then it escalated. It’s shocking how quickly things can change. They found out it was influenza A, which can hit your lungs hard.
They thought she was getting better, but then sepsis set in, and it was all over before they knew it. Linda was there with her when they had to turn off the machines. It’s a pain no parent should ever have to go through.
Kerry was a true entertainer, known for her impressions and performances. She had a beautiful voice and made everyone laugh. Back in the 80s and 90s, she was a local celebrity, and so many people loved her for her kindness and humor.
Linda is urging everyone to get their flu vaccines. Kerry didn’t get hers this year, and it’s a reminder of how important it is to take care of ourselves, especially with this flu going around. It’s just heartbreaking to see such a bright light go out so suddenly.
