Denise Babinski
1942 – 2024
Denise Babinski, 82, of Eagleville, Missouri, was peacefully called home to be with the Lord on Friday, September 13, 2024, in the comfort of her home.
Born on August 22, 1942, in Riverhead, New York, Denise was the beloved daughter of Joseph and Jesse Naugles. Her childhood was spent amidst the nurturing environment of her family's potato farm on Long Island, where she developed a lifelong passion for farming and a deep connection to the land.
On January 14, 1961, Denise married the love of her life, Andrew Babinski, Sr., in Riverhead, New York. Together, they embarked on a remarkable journey, sharing 51 years of love and partnership before Andrew's passing in 2012. Their life together was marked by hard work, faith, and devotion to family. Denise and Andrew built a successful farming life, raising cattle, dairy, and potatoes on Long Island for over three decades. In 1995, seeking new horizons, they moved west with their family, settling on a farm near Eagleville, Missouri, where they continued their agricultural legacy.
A devout member of the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in Bethany, MO, Denise's faith was the cornerstone of her life. She found great joy in her church community and served as a guiding light to all who knew her. In addition to her role in the church, Denise was deeply committed to her local community, serving on the Board of Directors for the Harrison County Community Hospital District since 2001. Her leadership and dedication to the health and well-being of her neighbors was a testament to her generous spirit.
Denise's greatest pride, however, was her family. She leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and resilience that will be cherished by her children: Andrew Babinski, Jr. (Linda) of Martinsville, MO, Joseph Babinski (Erica) of Eagleville, MO, and Joannie Meyer (Michael) of West Hampton Beach, NY. Her grandchildren, Victor and Thomas Babinski, Michael Anthony, Morgan, and Matthew Meyer, Olivia (Kason) Mathes and Nicholas Babinski, were the light of her life, and she found immense joy in being part of their lives.
Denise was preceded in death by her husband, Andrew Babinski, Sr., her brothers Joseph and Thomas Naugles, her sister, Irene Bialeski, and her parents, Joseph and Jesse Naugles.
Denise's memory will live on through the lives she touched, and her legacy of faith, love, and community will never be forgotten.
A Mass of Christian Burial to celebrate her life will be held at 10:30 a.m., Thursday,
September 19th, at the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church, Bethany, MO under the direction of Roberson Funeral Home, Bethany, MO. Inurnment will follow at the Masonic Cemetery in Eagleville, MO.
