Monika Gerlinde Morawek, age 79, of Kirkland, Washington, passed away to be with our Lord and Savior on July 7, 2024. Monika was born in Buhlertal, Germany, to Kurt and Margarete Wiese on September 9, 1944. Monika moved with her family to Seattle in 1960. In Seattle, Monika found a position at Marcel’s Pastry Shop, beginning a lifelong talent for making cookies and pastries, shown in abundance at Christmastime in the years to come. Monika met Frank, her husband, in 1962, and they married on August 31, 1963. Frank and Monika raised two children, Tom and Caryn. Monika found the Lord and was saved in 1974.
Monika was passionate about her garden, dogs, koi pond, and chickens. Mornings were spent enjoying coffee seated next to the pond with her dog at her side. She was an excellent baker, and Christmases were a wonderful time of freshly baked assortments of lebkuchen, butter cookies, and chestnut treats. Monika was a beautiful, loving Mom, who made Christ the center of her life. She deeply loved the Lord, her husband, and her family. In her later years, she adored and cherished her time with her grandchildren, Benjamin and Zoe.
Monika was preceded in death by both of her parents, Kurt and Margarete; her husband, Frank; sisters, Gerda and Brigitte; and brother, Hans. She is survived by her son, Tom; daughter, Caryn; sisters, Hilda and Christa; brother, Helmut; daughter in-law, Jodi; grandson, Benjamin; and granddaughter, Zoe.
A graveside service honoring Monika’s life will be held on Saturday, July 27, at 10:00 a.m., at Purdy & Walters at Floral Hills, 409 Filbert Rd., Lynnwood, Washington 98036.
