I was in Karen's home often growing up and she was like a second mom to me. I will always remember Karen as a joyful, happy lady who maintained her optimism and wonderful demeanor even in the most difficult of seasons. She faced challenges and endured painful losses with the utmost grace, always choosing to "count it all joy." She always had a smile on her face and something funny to say. Now she has gone on to her great reward, beholding the face of Jesus and reunited with her sweet daughter, Brenda. While we will all miss Karen, let us be encouraged that she is experiencing the boundless joy of heaven and no doubt smiling ear to ear every moment.Blessings,Doug Maddock

I will miss our talks on her patio, our shopping trips, and just driving around in the country listening to her share her memories.I met Karen the year I lost my Mom (2007). I have always felt that God put her my life for a reason. She has helped me through some very difficult times. On my worst days she could always make me smile. Always offering prayers and words of encouragement.Karen made this world a brighter and happier place.I feel truly blessed to have known her and called her my friend.Her love for life and her beloved family is a true testament to what kind of beautiful person she was. I will miss my Little Sunflower… forever sitting in the sun.

Karen and I hit it off years ago when I started calling her "Curly" and she started telling me jokes. We had a special friendship. She would come walking into the department to pick up a specimen or discharge a patient and when I would see her, I would tease her about her height; asking how she reached the pedal to drive to work, if she used telephone books to sit on to see over the windshield, how many pairs of stiletto's she owned at home, if she found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow on St Pattys day, if she bought her shoes and clothes in the kids department or if she needed a step stool to give me a hug - I'd always make a big production about needing to sit on my stool to hug her or talk to her. She spoke so fondly of her son Stacy and how he and his wife always looked over her and appreciated her independence. She gave me so much joy to hear her laugh, to the point of tears at times for both of us and to see her smile. I will deeply miss her saying "I love you too."
A great example of a life well lived and one that followed the "Three D's" of devotion, dedication and desire. Karen wore an ever ready smile that greeted you at all times and is a trait passed on to her son Stacy. She gave of herself to those around her being family, friends and strangers in her volunteer duties. 1 Peter 4:10 shares of how to use our gifts and talents and Karen did just that in her daily walk. Prayers of comfort and sympathy to you Stacy. You are a prime example of those "three D's" in the love shown for your sweet mother.Joe, Barb and Maggie
