Karen Babcock Obituary

Karen Louise BABCOCK Passed away unexpectedly on the morning July 21st, 2009. Though she suffered from a chronic illness, her death at the age of 55 was a horrible shock to her loved ones. One of her greatest joys in life were baseball games--she never seemed happier than when she was at Safeco Field surrounded by family and friends, despite what the score might have looked like. She loved to laugh and drink with family and friends, to throw her head back and sing; she loved the connection made between people when their eyes met with joy behind them. She will be sorely missed. A celebration of her life will be held in mid-to-late August. Contact the family for details.

Hello Karen!

The last time I saw you was when the ramp to your van had broke down at Circuit City and I went in to get someone to with a big tool belt and tool box to help get you and your friend back on your way! And though you had been a bit stressed moments earlier, you looked WONDERFUL!

I enjoyed working with you at Timeline, Inc. You always had a SMILE and a Kind Word for everyone...plus, what a GREAT Wit!!! You are a True Lady, who knew how to live Life to it's FULLEST! You are a Treasured Gift to the World and I thank God for having the opportunity to have gotten to share many laughs with you--as you knew how to cause MISCHIEF & MAYHEM!!! You will remain in my Heart forever!

I understand there will be a CELEBRATION of Your Life being held, sometime later this month, I hope to be there for YOU!!!

GREAT BIG HUGS!!!
Love,
Carina Sauerzopf
