IN LOVING MEMORY OF KERRI LEE MEWETT
28.12.1955 – 30.10.2021
Kerri, along with her husband Ian, Compass Pools Australia, and their dealership, have been supporters of the McGrath Foundation since 2016 and in that time, have raised over $600,000 helping fund specialist McGrath Breast Care Nurses.
Kerri was the most amazing woman, who gave 1000% to everything she cared about in her life. Whether that be family and friends, business, events or relationships. If you were supported by Kerri – you knew it – and you were certainly blessed.
Kerri was one of the most amazing people. Loving, fun, generous, caring, brave, courageous, and she never let anything take away her spirit and zest for life. She believed life was meant to be lived and she fitted so much life into her almost 66 years. She left this life with absolutely no regrets, achieved everything she set out to do, and gave so much to so many. A life well lived.
Whilst it was not breast cancer which took her away from us, the McGrath Foundation was near and dear to her heart. She faced her own health issues (that she had been living with for well over 6 years) with grace, dignity and courage. She added red wine, humour, fun and the occasional gin and tonic – just for good measure. She was always up for a challenge, and adventure and had many “scathingly brilliant ideas”. She had a “just do it” attitude to life, and never shied away from anything. She never let the hard days get her down and was an inspiration and mentor to so many people. That is only just part of the beautiful legacy that she has left us with.
Kerri and Ian had been together since she was 17. That’s almost 50 years. And what a team they made. Raising their own sons, Scott and Luke, and taking on many “honorary” children along the way, welcoming daughter in laws Kelli and Sally, and also grandchildren Olivia, Jesse and Nicola. Kerri was big sister to Rhonda – and they were as close as two sisters could be. In laws, nieces and nephews, cousins, and many honorary family members as well as the huge Compass Pools Family that Kerri and Ian started and nurtured for over 40 years, will also miss her greatly.
Kerri would be absolutely thrilled with any pledges made to the McGrath Foundation in her memory.
Go gently dear Kez – you will be loved and missed always.

Xquisite Pools & Spas in Griffith wish to convey our sincere condolences to the Mewett family and the Compass family with the passing of Kerri. Not only was she an icon of the pool industry but also a wonderful woman who didn’t shy away from what she thought, which we loved about her (particularly later in the evening in the smoking area). The big man upstairs will have his work cut out but will no doubt love her dearly. Thinking of you all,
