1958-2012
Karin "graduated" from this earth, in the warmth and comfort of her home on March 14, 2012. She was born on her sister's 6th birthday March 7, 1958. Born and raised in Ballard, Karin was a special soul who left a lasting impact on every person she came in contact with. Although not enough time, Karin spent nearly 30 years with her husband Doug Purdy, who she felt was her "Knight in Shining Armor". She was preceded in death by her father Walter Brydges. She is also survived by her mother Gladys Brydges, her sister Theresa Buol (and Jeff), sons Skip Klemz and Ryan Christianson (and Rhiannon), three beautiful grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and loving friends.
