Obituary for Kayla Stephanie Babus

South Glens Falls

Kayla Stephanie Babus, 32, passed away on Tuesday, May 19, 2020.

Born on March 30, 1988, in Medina, she was the daughter of Bela Babus and Melisa (Heichel) Powley.

Kayla graduated from South Glens Falls High School in 2006, then continuing her education with a certification from Penn Foster in 2010 for Pet Grooming. She was an accomplished angler and spent many hours fishing on the Hudson.

She had a passion for coloring with her boys, listening to Otis Redding and Meghan Trainor, watching Dead files, spending time with her sisters, brother and friends. Her most precious moments were with her two boys.

Kayla was predeceased by her beloved Lhasa Apso Gizmo, who she rescued as a failure to thrive puppy. Also, her grandfathers, Richard Heichel and Stephen Babus.

Left to cherish her memory include her two sons, Alexander Babus and Blake Goodsell; her parents, Melisa Powley and her husband, Tim, Bela Babus and his wife, Sylvia; her siblings, Bela Babus, Erika McKinney and Nicole McKee; her grandmother, Donna Heichel; her nieces and nephew, Lillian, Lincoln and Lexington McKinney.

Kayla had an enormous open heart who would never judge or gossip, truths she held to her core. Like she always did in life, she has decided to give everything she had and donate her organs to help others in need.
Her Son Alex wrote these words “She was GREAT Mother but her story ended there at 32.”

The families wishes to thank Glens Falls Hospital and Albany Medical for all their care and compassion during this hard time.

Due to the current health crisis, services will be private and at the convenience of the family.

Memorial donations in Kayla’s memory can be made to a saving account in trust of Alexander Babus and Blake Goodsell’s name at Glens Falls National Bank, 8646 NY-22, Granville, NY 12832.

Arrangements are in the care of the M.B. Kilmer Funeral Home, 136 Main Street, South Glens Falls, NY 12803.
