In quiet remembrance, we pause to honor the life of Denise Babyak, whose sudden passing has brought deep sorrow to her family, friends, and the New Sewickley Township community.
On Friday evening, at approximately 6:15 p.m., Denise, 68, lost her life in a tragic head-on collision on Freedom Crider Road in Beaver County. Emergency responders arrived swiftly, but she was pronounced deceased at the scene. The other driver involved was not injured.
Preliminary findings from the New Sewickley Police Department indicate that Denise’s vehicle crossed the center lane and collided with an oncoming vehicle. Weather and road conditions are not believed to have played a role, despite the roadway being wet at the time. The investigation into the crash remains ongoing.
For several hours that evening, Freedom Crider Road was closed between Lovi Road and the Route 989 roundabout as authorities carefully worked the scene.
Today, hearts are heavy as loved ones remember Denise—not only for the tragic way her life ended, but for the life she lived, the moments she shared, and the memories that will endure. Her absence is deeply felt, and she will be remembered with respect and love.
🕊️ May Denise Babyak rest in peace, and may comfort and strength surround all who mourn her loss.
