Dr. Carol Mohr BATT

I was Dr. Batt's student for 2 years at Seattle Central and she was one of the most loving instructors to ever live on this planet. I miss her and her classes everyday.

I knew Carol , in the late 70s. She was one of the head counselors, at a girls camp I was going to the following week, I was 15 years old, she was very understanding about things most others, weren´t comfortable talking about, and just knew what to say, or whether, to just hold a frightened mixed up 15 year old girl , quietly, not judging, just knowing as if she´d been there herself. I loved her for that, I never had a chance to thank her, I lost touch with her, now 50+ years later, I find her on Facebook, only to find she passed away just 7 months ago!! But I´m so pleased to hear she was able to accomplish her goals and dreams. That she taught, and supported, and encouraged, so many people, sharing her wonderful sense of gentle humor, her way with words, was just Amazing, and her eyes were caring, expressive, soft, at time Sad, like many I think her life had rough patches , disappointments, things like that, "Life" you know, we´ve all been there, no one is perfect!! But she was such a strong person!!
I just want her 2 Daughters, two know, and her Son, that I am so sorry for the loss of you Mom, when I saw , Both Holly and Heidi´s pictures , especially Heidi´s, I thought your Mom had 2 Facebook pages! You look so much like your Mom, (but younger), Holly you look a lot like her too!! You are both just Amazing!! Billy your Amazing !!! Anyway I probably, wrote to much, except, Please take care of Each other!! I care!! And Heidi, Keep up the good work!!!! I will have 16 years day before Thanksgiving!!!

I worked in another department and I only knew Carol from those occasional times I would pass her in the hallway or in the faculty lounge and we would take a few moments to say hi and chat. But I don't think I ever came away from talking to her without feeling a little better for the encounter. She was funny, she was kind, she was smart and I will miss her cheerful presence.

Dr. Batt was an amazing woman, who truly loved and cared about her student dearly. I'm so lucky to have her as my teacher this quarter, I will cherish her positivity and kindness in my memories forever. My thought and prayers to the family and friends of Dr.Batt.

Rest in power, Dr.Batt!

Dr. Carol Batt was the most compassionate and loving professor I have ever had the privilege to learn from. She cared deeply for all of her students and unconditionally believed in and supported each of us. Her kindness and dedication will be missed. Sending love and condolences to her family. Thank you, Dr. Batt, for sharing your love with all of us.

Dr. Carol Batt exuded love and warmth! Regardless of the virtual challenges, she seemed to not be phased and continued to share the love. I wish I had the opportunity to meet such a beautiful soul in person, but in her honor, I will pass the love forward. May you rest peacefully Dr. Batt.

The short time I interacted with Dr. Batts via Zoom or email she was a spunky, funny, and loving person. She enjoyed teaching and made sure we all understood the topic and answered all our questions. She will be truly missed.

From her very first email I could tell that Dr. Batt was a kind and loving person and I would enjoy having her as a teacher. I remember reading her words and smiling at how much positivity and love she put out into the world and for people she didn't even know yet. She embodied the spirit of love for no reason and was extremely inspiring. I keep wondering if I have waited too long to return to school and complete my education, but when she said she came back to school when she was older than me and completed her doctorate, it helped motivate me to keep on going.

I wish I could have gotten to know her better and I hope all of us can take the time to spread the joy and love that she did every time she spoke with us.

I wish that I could have meet Dr. Batt in person. I can tell by the few zoom discussions we had that she was a great facilitator of learning and meaningful discourse. She took care in raising important topics through the documentaries she had us watch and write about during lifespan psychology. She was a kind and loving person who's passion for teaching was evident. My thoughts go out to her family during this time of remembrance.

I will always remember her warm smile and soulful eyes.

While I never had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Carol Batt in person I can say that even over an online class program she radiated feelings of love and compassion. Her attitude towards others is one I wish more people shared, myself included. I wish I had gotten the opportunity to interact with her face to face. She seems like she would've been a fun conversationalist. My thoughts go out to her family

I have nevered took her class before but from the beginning She seems a very sweet and kind person. Wish you have a peaceful time in the other world. My sincere condolences!

Dr. Batt was a very warm-hearted, caring soul. This was my first class with her and I'm sad that I didn't get the chance to get to know her more. She always ended every message with a positive message of love, which always brought a smile to my face. May her heart of gold rest in peace. Much love and condolences to Dr. Batt's family.

She is a really warm and kind woman. She loved her students a lot. I’m so lucky to have a teacher like her. Rest In Peace Dr. Batt. I love you and miss you.

I only knew Dr. Batt through the few weeks of this course, but even in that short time her positivity and warmth were palpable, even through the computer screen! It is clear Dr. Batt cared deeply for her students and her profession, and I admire how she took the time to try and connect with us with weekly messages, Zoom calls, and words of encouragement. I also deeply appreciate how she said she loved us at the end of every message. I think Dr. Batt knew some people don't hear that they are loved enough in their lives, so she made it her mission to fix that. I'm thankful and honored to have known her, she will be greatly missed.

This year I had the opportunity to take lifespan Psychology with Professor Batt. In all of my years in school, I had never had a teacher tell her students that she loved them. This spoken word wasn't common in all of my years of school until this class. The power of this word demonstrated by Dr. Batt proved to me that she wasn't like most teachers, and how she cared for every one of her students just like a family member. This message was truly needed as the Covid-19 pandemic had made life in many ways challenging for all of us. I still remember opening up one of her first emails to the class and how she was so excited to start this new quarter with all of us, along with telling us who she was as an individual. When reading this email, I couldn't tell what was more impressive. Was it the fact that she was defying stereotypes about age surrounding education or her genuine kindness? Overall this was an extraordinary teacher, and It was a true pleasure to take her class before I graduate.

Dr. Carol's classes were my favorites during this quarter, when she missed a class I sent her a direct message because I really loved her classes and they were something that I expected a lot during the week, when she was teaching I laughed a lot and I learned. Something that I loved about her, was that despite being an older person, she was very open minded. She talked about topics that she had changed her way of thinking during her life and she always spoke of her vocation as teaching. Despite not having the opportunity to meet her in person, Carol changed my mind and I am grateful that I had the great opportunity to have been her student and to have been part of something that she really loved to do, to teach.
May she rest in peace.

Though I did not have the pleasure of meeting Dr. Carol Batt in person; through her heartfelt messages on canvas, I could see how much she valued her relationships with her students. I am thankful I had the opportunity of attending her class, it was good to have her joyful energy around this quarter. My heart goes out to all who loved her, may she rest in peace.

I did not have the privilege of meeting Dr Carol in person, but the affection with she treated the students was incredible. She was always very affectionate and very attentive to everyone! She always ended an email saying that she loved us, that was wonderful, I could feel her affection! It was a privilege to have her as my teacher!

I only had the pleasure of a few zoom classes and a couple online exchanges with her but even so, it was clear how incredibly kind, caring, and warm Dr. Batt was. I regret that I never met her in person and had the opportunity to share more time with her. My deepest condolences to her family, friends, and colleagues.

Thank you Mrs. Batt for your service and kind-heartedness. Life is so fragile and I am in disbelief that you are no longer here with us. My condolences go out to her family, friends, and associates who are in the grief. May you rest in peace Dear Carol Batt as you rest in our Heavenly Father's bosom.

26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Although I have never had the pleasure to meet Dr. Batt in person, I am so thankful I got to have her as my professor for a period of time. I enjoyed our zooms, she was always so happy to see us and expressed how much she loved us. Her smile would light up the room, and make me feel so welcomed. I feel so bad that we had to see her go, especially so soon, she was so strong fighting to be with us even though she was struggling so much on her own. May she Rest In Peace.❤

Heidi, at no other time in my life did I feel as much of a little girl than when I faced the loss of my parents. The paradox of such incredible grief and phenomenal memories and love can be very confusing, and I want you to know that my ears and my heart are here for you at this time and any others. Much love, Lisa.

Thank you Carol for your kindness and great sense of humor. I've enjoyed our times working together and your stories on how your grandchildren would help you with technology. You were a brightness in my day each time I saw you, I miss you so much.

Rest in Peace.

I only meet Dr. Carol Batt on Zoom this semester just twice, but she was a great teacher and care person. It is great loss for her families and friends and much loves them. RIP for Dr.
