Kara Reddick Obituary
May 25, 1962 – September 8, 2025
In loving memory Kara Hale Reddick, age 63, passed away peacefully in Ventura, California on September 8, 2025, after fighting a courageous battle with a rare neurological disease.
Kara was born on May 25, 1962, in Los Angeles, California. Supported by her loving parents J and Bobbie Hale, Kara lived in Bakersfield, CA and graduated from West High School. Parts of her career included working at Vons, a Title company, then later in life her professional journey led her to become an accomplished marketer for Fox Television.
Kara's proudest achievement was ensuring her children received a college education – a lifelong ambition that brought her immense joy and fulfillment. She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, whose love for family was the cornerstone of her life.
Kara and her husband Dan Reddick married in 2005, creating a beautiful blended family that includes children Chad, Tyler (wife Kelli), Danika, and Chris (wife Karissa), and grandchildren Cash (13), Ella (11), Everly (6), Harper (3), and newborn Winnie Joy. Stemming from her Paiute Indian heritage, Kara took great pride in being called Hutsi'i which is "grandmother" in their native language
She was the life of every party – dancing, laughing, and stirring up a good time. Kara cherished family gatherings with loved ones and had a deep passion for her kids sporting events especially Stockdale football games. She also enjoyed fashion, fishing, snorkeling, kayaking and loved traveling the world with adventures spanning Mexico, Panama, Hawaii, the Caribbean, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, and Japan.
Kara was everyone's little sister, best friend, and confidant. To count her friends would be like counting grains of sand on the beach – too many to number, each one touched by her warmth.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Westside Church of Christ 7300 Stockdale Hwy. Bakersfield CA on Saturday October 4, 2025, 11:00am, where family and friends are invited to gather to honor her life and legacy. A reception will occur immediately following.
Kara was a warrior in the fight against FTD, dedicating herself to supporting research with the University California San Francisco. Her personal sacrifice will leave a lasting legacy for generations to come. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration www.theaftd.org.
Though Kara was taken from us far too soon, her legacy of love, laughter, and devotion will live on through her children, grandchildren, and all who were fortunate enough to know her.
