Marlborough, NH – Hannah Rose Kerman, March 24, 1976 to September 23, 2026.
Hannah’s deepest connection was with animals. She worked for veterinarians, apprenticing as a veterinary technician, and for the Monadnock Humane Society. She ran her petsitting business from the family farm in Marlborough, NH for nearly 30 years.
Hannah was adopted into the Kerman family in Michigan as a baby. Homeschooled as a child, she attended The Meeting School for high school, graduating in 1995. With Potawatomi ancestry through her birth parents, she embraced indigenous spirituality.
Those who knew her will miss Hannah’s wit, her expert guidance with, and deep empathy for the non-human creatures lucky enough to receive her guardianship, both farm animals and pets. Her ingenious and skillful carpentry solved many problems at the family farm, and her family and friends will miss her laugh and her dry observations, her stubbornness and strident loyalties.
She is survived by her father, Ed, her brother Jesse, her sister Ada, Ada’s two children, her American Guinea Hog Blackberry, and her beloved dog Kasai.
A memorial service will take place at Monadnock Quaker Meeting on Saturday, November 21, 2026 at 1:00 pm.
