Mrs. Levenduski was our favorite music teacher ever. She was so funny, made everything she taught us fun. She taught us simple notes very well and made my day everyday I had her. So much fun and so sad to see someone I love go. She loved us as her own children, and always made jokes about the leprechaun. We will miss her beautiful smile and her inspiring words every other day. :)

Mrs. Levenduski was my music teacher at Sheboygan Falls Elementary School. I remember that she would always say, "I hate snow!" every winter. It always made me laugh! I really liked being in her class and I really love music. I will really miss her.

From the moment we met in seventh grade through high school, Kerrie and I were inseparable. Even when she moved north for college, we remained close. Weeks or months could pass without us seeing each other, but we always picked up right where we left off. I was blessed to have this remarkable friendship with this remarkable friend for over forty years. I will miss her.

So sorry to hear this news. Kerrie was a colleague and teacher of both my girls. I wanted to share a message from my daughter about how much she loved having Kerrie as a teacher.

Thank you for influencing my love for music at such a young age. I remember you pushing me to sing a solo at my second grade Christmas concert when we sang silver bells and I think of you each time I hear it. Every time I came to falls to see my mom you greeted me with a big smile and a hug. You touched so many lives and will be so greatly missed. Danielle Dawson

I had her as my elementary school music teacher. (As a lot of us did) She was an amazing woman who always had a bright spirit and a smile on her face. (Along with the tons of smiley faces taped all around her classroom) Since hearing about her passing a lot of memories have come back to me about her classroom and what we did/learned/sang etc in her class. She started my love of music and for that I'm forever grateful. She was also SO funny! I remember some of the jokes she would tell and I would always find them hilarious! I never knew her outside of school and had only seen her a couple times since in public and we would talk a little bit. That would be so nice. My sincerest condolences go out to her friends and family!! May you find comfort in the good memories at this terrible time.

To Kerrie's Family,

I am very sad to hear of Kerrie's passing. Both Kerrie and I taught at Lightfoot School in Sheboygan Falls, and then on to the regular ed program in the Sheboygan Falls School District. Kerrie was an amazing soul, very giving to family and students. She always had a song in her heart, even when she wasn't feeling well. I will miss her. Please know that I am keeping you, her family, in my prayers. May God bless you and stand by your side.

Kerrie was a great person to work with. She saw humor in life. She knew and understood God's love, may she rest in His presence.

Kerrie was one of my favorite people. I was lucky enough to have had her as a colleague when she was a music teacher at Sheboygan Falls Elementary School. She inspired many children with her unique ability to engage young musicians, including my own sons. She always had a smile on her face, honesty with her words, and a quick sense of humor. Earth has lost a special spirit, but a beautiful soul has returned to heaven.

God opened Kerrie's heart to take in our sister Jean for many years when her mom could no longer take care of her. What an amazing 2nd mom Jean was blessed to have. Her kindness, thoughtfulness and loving someone as deeply as she loved Jean will always be remembered. I will always treasure our friendship and the caring you gave Jean. Jean was so blessed that you could have that last time with her helping her "downsize". I am so thankful she got to tell you about her Gold Medal in Basketball skills at State Special Olympics just a week ago. Rest In Peace, Dear Kerrie. May God give Dennis and your family strength, comfort and peace on this very difficult journey.
