Karen Seger Obituary

Karen Elizabeth Seger 7/12/1939 - 5/18/2014 Loved by her family and friends, both here and abroad, she was snatched away from this life with little warning. She left us and we are devastated. Her light which shined on all of our lives was extinguished, but that light continues to shine in our hearts. Her friends, family and extended family are too numerous to mention here. Suffice it to mention she had been an archeologist in the Middle East, a student of many native cultures and a co-founder and organizer of festivals in Tucson. I'll be seeing you in every lovely summer's day. A Memorial Service will be announced at a later date. Arrangements by ADAIR FUNERAL HOMES, Dodge Chapel.

I miss this beautiful friend more with each passing year, but the gifts - generosity of spirit, a gathering of forever friends, the boundless joy of living - will be with me always.

I apologize for the tardiness of this message. I know Moussa shares my thoughts. Karen was one of the most incredible human beings I've ever met. Of everyone in my life, Karen was the only person I truly wished I could emulate. What an amazing life she led, filled with adventure and good deeds. She had an aura of a wise-woman soul who knew the earth's and humankind's highways and by-ways. I can imagine her now riding a glorious, native-woven carpet over the whole world. She was intelligent, kind, generous, open-hearted and beautiful. I only wish I had met her much earlier in my life so I could have learned so much more about being a good person. Her legacy is felt by so many and she will always be an inspiration.

I'm so sorry to hear this news, Karen. I did not know you well but felt a strong connection when we visited. There was something about your presence that made me feel drawn to you and I am sorry I didn't have more time to get to know you better. My heart goes out to your family. Norma Carlson

Karen was my neighbor...and I like to think she was my friend too. I will miss our "over the fence talks" and her beautiful smile. Needham Place will miss Karen and her gentle ways.....

I met Karen when I joined the book club. She was fascinating! I loved how brave and adventurous she was. Her open, tolerant, and loving "being" was like breath of fresh air. I felt more alive in her presence. How fortunate I was to know her, even for a brief time.

Karen was a shining example of loving kindness, selfless giving, and unconditional acceptance. I miss my dear friend, client, travellling companion and book club buddy and treasure all of the precious memories.

She was my companion for countless lunches, gossip sessions, shopping trips, oldie song fests and dusty trips on Mexican backroads. Her leaving has left a big hole in my life and my heart.
