Karen was preceded in death by her parents and her brother. She is survived by her four children, her sister and other brother, her children’s father/friend, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends.
Karen never met a stranger and had the gift of gab!
She was a very skilled caregiver and will be missed dearly.
