Obituary
Becky L. Crabtree, 51, formerly of Lynden, passed away on Summer Solstice 2018.
Becky was known for her quick-witted and outrageously funny sense of humor. She was generous and helpful and was an early volunteer at Sean Humphrey house. She enjoyed extensive travel throughout the US and was an avid photographer.
Birds and wildlife were favorite subjects. Becky had a tender, sensitive heart. She saw and encouraged the beauty and potential in others – and acted on her peacekeeping abilities. A lifelong vegetarian, she supported PETA in their efforts to stop violence against animals. She loved and cared for all animals, especially cats and horses.
She was predeceased by her parents Gene & Virginia Crabtree, and is survived by her immediate family: Nikki, Cathy, Jennifer, Dan (Debbie), and Jeanne Crabtree (Bob Petersen). Nieces and nephews: Neal Koning (Kim Ross), Lea Sadler (Justin Dahl, Osiris) Rachel (Clint Weidkamp, Rebecca, Christina, Levi), Ben Kleindel, Jon (Melissa) Crabtree, Uncles Vic and Bill Larson, Aunts Lil, Christine and Cathy Larson and many cousins. She will be sorely missed by her family, friends Ray, Darci, Mark, Kyla, Anna, Anthony, and Jay; and her IRS co-workers.

Becky, we love you and miss you and wish you were here with us. All I ever wanted was for you to be OK and happy. I hope you are happy now, with mom and dad. I see you running across a field in heaven, playing with our beloved Woofy. You live on in our hearts.

Very, very sorry to hear of Becky’s passing. My heartfelt condolences go out first to her family and to anyone else who got to know her as the very special human being that she was. It may sound cliché but I remember telling her not too long ago upon her mother’s passing that no one is ever really gone until they are no longer remembered by the living. I for one will remember her for all of her numerous and positive characteristics. What a bright and witty personality she had. I would receive an e-mail from her from time to time and knew without first opening it that it would contain funny observations, interesting commentary and the varied news of her life. I could be in an off mood and after reading it would invariably be chuckling about what she had to say or how she said it, or both. Such a gift to brighten someone’s day and seemingly without effort. I could go on and on but won’t. I will say that I miss her and that I am sad for the loss of a dear friend. An authentic, kind and generous person the world will be the lessor for without.

I was so sorry to read about Becky’s passing. This is way too young for such a sweet, positive woman to pass away. My condolences to her whole family. I’m sure she and your mom are together now. Deepest sympathy. Gwen

Dear Becky Crabtree,there are so many things I want to say to you, but when it comes down to it, here is what matters the most-I can see you now basking in the glow of Heaven’s light, communing with all of the critters, and watching birds that we can only see in our imaginations. And you’re free from everything that weighed you down here. So, good-bye for now, but someday I’ll see you on the other side.
Love,
Stacy

Becky was a great friend and I was saddened to hear of her passing. She was easy to get along with and touched many lives. I admired her intelligence and positive attuide. Even when having a bad day Becky was always all smiles and befriended nearly everyone she met. Whenever I needed cheering up my first thought was to call Becky and just have a quick conversation and suddenly my day was better. I will certainly miss her and I can’t believe such an outstanding person has left us.
