Kay L. Babcock
Kay Lynn Babcock passed away peacefully at Aspirus Hospital in Wausau on the morning of August 7th, 2023 with her loving husband and favorite niece holding her hands. If you knew Kay, you know it was her way or the highway – and in true Kay fashion, she passed away on her own terms.
Kay was born September 26th, 1947 in Wausau, WI. She graduated high school from Wausau Senior High. She met her husband, Jim Babcock, at a party when she learned he drove the “cool car” parked outside. They married August 28th, 1971, and four years later they were blessed with the best gift ever, their daughter, Kimberly Ann Babcock (Devitt).
Kay had many very important roles in her life. First off, she
was an amazing wife to Jim Babcock. It took her over 50 years, but Jim finally helps with the dishes! She taught her favorite and only child Kim to be strong, independent and a bit sassy. Kim is forever grateful for this. Kay was a great mother in law to Harry Devitt. She has a special place in her heart for him. Kay was a loving grandmother to Kasey, Kloe, Madux and Kam Devitt. Even when dementia took over, she always asked about them first. She was a great sister to her brother Terry Grabau (June Grabau). She was an involved aunt to her nephew Scott Grabau (Karen Grabau) and niece Brandi Grabau. Kay was a loyal friend to a long list of people that is way too long to write – but the people on the list will know who they are. Kay was a great dog momma to the numerous dogs our family has had over the years, but most recently, Shotze. Above all, Kay was a believer in the God she has now met in person. She is home.
Kay was a very busy lady. She was involved in a lot of different things throughout her life. A few highlights are as follows: being involved in PTA at the school where her darling daughter attended; holding various board positions on the water ski teams our family was involved in; holding different positions within her church which she loved very much; taking on many different roles within the Masonic Temple branch of Jobs Daughters; being a board member for the Wisconsin Water Ski Federation for many, many, many, etc years – those many years of service landed her an award of distinction and a spot in the WWSF Hall of Fame; and lastly, working as a secretary and scorer for one million water ski tournaments our family skied in and were a part of. There are so many more, but this can only be so long.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, August 27, 2023 from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., at Eagles Club #251, in Wausau, Wisconsin.
Please wear casual clothes and come ready to tell a story about how you will remember Kay. We can’t wait to hear them.
In lieu of flowers that “just get thrown away in the end” (her words – not mine), please consider a donation to The A-T Children’s Project as they search for a cure for the condition her grandson, Madux Devitt, lives with. As you likely know, this foundation was very important to Kay and our whole family. To donate, please visit; Donate – A-T Children’s Project (atcp.org)
Patrick S. Plunkett
Patrick Steven Plunkett, 82, of Wausau passed away on August 12th under the care of Aspirus Hospice at Athenian Assisted Living in Athens. He bravely fought an incurable blood cancer for three years.
Patrick was born on January 9, 1941, to Clifford and Elvira Plunkett in Wausau, Wisconsin. He married Mary Kluetz on March 20, 1965. Mary preceded him in death in 2019.
Pat attended John Marshall Elementary School and grew up on the Southeast side of Wausau. Pat graduated from Wausau High School in 1959. Patrick had a keen mind for calculating numbers, and design. He enrolled in the Engineering program at UWMC after high school. In 1960 he began his studies at NTC graduating with a degree in Machine Design and Electronics in 1962. He worked for Barber-Coleman in Rockford IL until he joined the U.S. Army Reserves in 1964. He proudly served six years as a combat engineer, being honorably discharged in 1970. After his discharge from the Army, he gained employment at Drott/JI Case as a draftsman and worked himself up the ladder to manufacturing engineer. In 1984, he joined the team at Greenheck Fan Corporation as Senior Manufacturing engineer, working in all phases of product manufacturing until he retired in 2008.
Throughout Pat’s career, he was passionate about learning and advancing his skills by taking numerous night courses at NTC including advanced welding, machine shop and laser techniques. Patrick was proud of the fact that he was an adjunct instructor at NTC and also served on their advisory committee for welding and electromechanical programs for 30 years.
Pat was a lifelong “gearhead” and enjoyed restoring English sports cars. He also enjoyed biking and cross-country skiing for nearly 50 years. In 1998, Pat “accidentally” found his passion for the world of visual art. He was at home, “in his shop”, working on resolving a work-related welding problem when his first metal abstract sculpture was created. Patrick had found his true passion in becoming an abstract artist. His collection of art includes numerous abstract and semi abstract sculptures and paintings. Patrick’s proudest accomplishment was the “Peace” sculpture that he designed and built with Mostafa Saleh of Cairo, Egypt. It was Mr. Saleh’s vision and dream, which Pat made come true. The sculpture was unveiled in 2009 and stands in Whitewater Park in Wausau. Patrick was admired and respected in the art world with his art displayed in galleries throughout North Central Wisconsin and sold throughout the United States. Pat found his voice in his art and spoke profoundly through each and every piece. Patrick placed in a number of competitive exhibitions while having a number of “Featured Artist Shows”. He was a member of the Wisconsin Visual Artists Guild, Antigo Visual Artists, the Q Gallery of Stevens Point, Wisconsin Artists Association, and the Wisconsin Valley Artists Association.
Patrick was a kind, generous, loyal, strong-willed man and loved by many. He was clever and full to the brim with knowledge gained through all his life experiences…he could fix or build anything. Though Pat came from a very small family, he had numerous friends and neighbors whom he treated and loved as family. You know who you are.
Pat is survived by Sue Harris, sister-in-law; Ken Klug, brother in law; nieces Lisa Nowicki (Greg) and Sara Agamaite (Mike); nephews Karl Kluetz and Erik Kluetz (Estreitta); great nieces and nephews Anna, Collin, Carson, Shannon, Jasmine, Jonah and Anton.
Pat is predeceased by his wife, Mary, Judy Klug (sister-in-law) and Michael Kluetz (brother-in-law).
Our family would like to recognize and thank Pat’s many neighbors and friends that loved, helped and looked out for Pat these past couple years. There are many of you, but we especially want to thank Blaine and Sue, Randy and Sue and his dear friend Mike Gilles who visited him often. Also, thank you Chandra for your friendship and sharing your love of art with Pat.
Patrick’s family would like to extend their gratitude to Dr. Peterson and the wonderful staff at the Aspirus Cancer Center in Wausau for their genuine care for Pat these past three years.
Funeral service will be held at St. John Lutheran Church, Village of Maine, on Monday, August 28. Visitation will be from 9:00 am-11:00 am with the service at 11:00 am. Pastor Maggie Westaby will preside.
