Kathleen Carrico Obituary

Kathleen Carrico passed away peacefully at her Colorado Springs home on Tuesday surrounded by her family and friends. Kathleen was born in Jersey City, New Jersey, to Joseph and Marie Ubelhart. She is the oldest of six children. Kathleen has been married to her loving husband, Fred, close to 29 years and together they raised four wonderful and loving children. Throughout the past seven years, Kathleen became dedicated to the battle against cancer through the Lance Armstrong Foundation and other organizations. Kathleen was an active member of Cyclists Combating Cancer. She had a passion for cycling and a love of the Colorado outdoors. Kathleen is survived by her husband, Fred, children, Michael, Christine, Cary, Kellie and her husband Anthony, grandchildren, Mac, Zander, and Irish, mother, Marie, siblings, Karen, Susan, Jay, Gregg, and Amy and countless friends and other family. Kathleen touched the lives of many people in all walks of life and will be missed terribly by all who knew her. A celebration and memorial of Kathleen’s life will be held at 10 AM, Monday, May 18, 2009, at the top of Ridge Road in the Garden of the Gods (Parking Lot #9). Parking is limited so we ask you to carpool, if possible. The family would like to thank Evercare Hospice for their loving care for Kathleen over the past weeks. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Lance Armstrong Foundation at http://austin09.livestrong.org/ kathleencarrico or the Greater Life Church in Webster, Texas at http://www.greaterlife4u.com

We met Kathleen (and Fred) when our daughters (Christine and Laura Straehla)were in 1st grade together at Sherrod Elementary in Arlington, TX. We now live back in COS and am sorry that I never got to visit her since being back here. Please know that you will be in our thoughts and prayers.
