A group of cyclists met near Pebble Creek on Saturday to hold a ride in memory of Kerry Snow-Alley. The event served as a tribute to the College Station resident, who died on Sept. 10 after battling stage 4 breast cancer. She was 47 years old. A celebration of life was held later that day at Christland Church in College Station.

Snow-Alley was known for her determination in the face of illness. In 2025, she completed the East Texas Showdown, a 400-mile race, while undergoing cancer treatment. She finished the event in 43 hours, placing 10th overall and second in the women’s division.

During that race, she raised approximately $15,000 for BCS Fights Cancer, a local nonprofit that assists Bryan-College Station patients with care costs. She had previously finished the same race in 2024, just two days before receiving a stage 2 breast cancer diagnosis.

Friends and colleagues described her as a dedicated professional and a supportive friend. Kim Topp, a fellow cyclist and podcast host, noted that Snow-Alley was intense on the bike but generous and positive in her daily life. Andi Miller, a former co-worker at Legal Monkeys, recalled that Snow-Alley rose from an entry-level role to become the company’s president of plaintiff records and workers’ compensation.

Miller stated that Snow-Alley was unafraid of difficult conversations because she genuinely cared about the people involved.

Born in Hull, England, Snow-Alley moved to the United States in 2010. She had previously worked as a scuba diving instructor in the Cayman Islands, where she met her husband, Christopher. Her parents, Gary and Christine, described her as fiercely independent, noting that she taught her younger brother to ride a bike without training wheels when she was five.

Family members said her favorite title was “Auntie Kerry,” and she was known for surprising her nieces and nephews with playful gestures, such as dressing as a dinosaur for school visits.

In a March 2025 interview, Snow-Alley expressed her desire to show others that a cancer diagnosis does not limit one’s potential. She encouraged people to push themselves and maintain goals despite their circumstances. Her family has established a GoFundMe to help cover the medical expenses left by her treatment and to support her husband.

They have asked those who knew her to continue her legacy by taking chances and showing up for others.
