Cari Elizabeth Streeter

Cari Elizabeth Haseltine was born in Kansas City, Missouri in 1974, the daughter of John and Nancy Haseltine.

Cari attended St. Ann's in Prairie Village, Kansas and graduated from Shawnee Mission East in Overland Park, Kansas. Following graduation, Cari discovered that she enjoyed working with the elderly, caring for their needs and listening to their stories. It was during that period that Cari decided her next adventure would be to join family members in the west, living in New Mexico and Colorado. During that time, Cari had an opportunity to do the work she enjoyed, while exploring the local landscape and culture of the west.

After a time, Cari decided to return to Kansas, where she also had family and old friends and returned to her work at a local care center in the area. Cari made new friends at work, who eventually introduced her to the man she would one day marry.

Cari and Jerry Streeter were married for 14 years before he passed away in September of 2017. During those years, Cari got to try her hand at gardening, raising chickens, and cooking for her family. At long last, she was able to have several big dogs, whom she adored. In addition to her husband, Cari was also preceded in death by her father, John Haseltine and brother, Christian Haseltine.

Toward the end of 2017, Cari's health was diminishing rapidly. On a trip to visit her mother, Nancy, in Colorado, Cari decided that she no longer had the energy to resume her old life in Kansas. It was not easy for Cari to say goodbye to old friends and family, but she decided to stay in Colorado with her mother and focus on regaining her health. Unfortunately, that hoped-for outcome was not to be, and Cari passed away on July 13, 2018. She had struggled so long despite difficult odds. Her body was ready to let go.

Cari and her mother were blessed to have an incredible 9 months together. She will be so missed.
