Reverend Karen’s Memorial Service is scheduled for Saturday, March 30, 2024 at 3:00-5:30 pm at Interfaith Community Sanctuary in Ballard. Address of Memorial Service: 1763 NW 62nd Street, Seattle, WA 98107. This memorial will be live-streamed for those unable to attend in person. The program will include light refreshments. Since this Memorial is occurring in the month of Ramadan, we will provide compostable containers for people fasting to carry food home for breaking the fast later.


The ICS Guiding Council has set up the Karen Lindquist Memorial Fund in Honor of Reverend Karen and her long and dedicated service to Interfaith Community Sanctuary. If you wish to donate to this fund, please go to the Donation page of our website. There you can designate your donation to the Rev. Karen Lindquist Memorial Fund.

Checks may also be mailed to Interfaith Community Sanctuary at 1763 NW 62nd Street, Seattle, WA 98107. Please designate “Karen Lindquist Fund” in the memo section of your check. All memorial funds will be used to honor Reverend Karen’s legacy, and for the beautification and enhancement our historic building and Interfaith programs in ways she would have wished.

Reverend Karen Lindquist has been a central pillar and guiding light for our community ever since the inception of Interfaith Community Sanctuary in 1998. Reverend Karen passed away peacefully in her sleep on February 4, 2024. ICS was her all-consuming love, passion, and life’s work. Her absence leaves an immense void in our hearts and in the work of our community. Reverend Karen was a unique visionary, and dedicated servant of service. She worked tirelessly every day to ensure the smooth administration of the Sanctuary programs, aligning them with our vision of Interfaith understanding, cooperation and collaboration locally, nationally, and internationally. She repeatedly emphasized the critical need for each of us to stay connected with our Divine purpose through spiritual practices, careful study, and self- introspection.  This work leads us all to be of authentic selfless service in the community and the world.
