Karen’s friendly, honest and peaceful nature will be incredibly missed. Our families have many great memories boating and camping together that can never be replaced. Thanksgiving became a camping tradition where we shared good company, many laughs and a delicious feast every year thanks to Karen’s hard work. Always making sure everyone around her had what they needed and felt included, Karen has one of the purest hearts I’ve known. She leaves a void that will affect us forever. Our deepest sympathies go out to Mike, Reed, Sam and Sara. Wishing you peace and fond memories during this difficult time.

I met Karen through my sister Charlene and was immediately impressed by her smile. Every time we ran into each other she always took the time to have a quick chat and ask about our parents and the rest of the family. We are so sorry for your loss.
