Sandra Kay Beaucage passed away peacefully after a battle with liver cancer on June 8, 2018. Sandy was born in Washington D.C. on April 13, 1943. She graduated in the class of 1961 from St. Petersburg High School in Florida; married Robert (Beau) Beaucage shortly thereafter, and became a Coast Guard wife. They had two children together, Michele and David.
Sandy was always involved in volunteer work wherever she lived. She led countless young Girl Scouts (who knew her as “Sunny”) at Camp Long in West Seattle, was a devoted volunteer for the West Seattle Garden Tour, and took pride in being an active, passionate director on the Duwamish Tribal Services board. She always showed her sincere love of people and nature through service.
Sandy is survived by Beau, her husband of 56 years, her daughter Michele Karnes and husband Michael, her son David Beaucage and wife Carda, her grandchildren, Lauryn Karnes, Kaitlyn Karnes, Justin Beaucage, and Shelby Beaucage, and her sisters Joan Slattery of Dunmanway, Ireland and Elizabeth Borgnis of Clinton, Connecticut.
Should friends desire, memorial contributions may be sent in Sandy’s honor to The Girl Scouts of Western Washington or the Duwamish Tribe.
There will be a Celebration of Life on Sunday, July 15, 2018 in the Vashon Room of The Hall at Fauntleroy, 9131 California Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98136, from 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM. All are welcome to come and share in remembering Sandy and bid her farewell. She will be missed by many.
