Karen Kurch Obituary
On Saturday, July 29, 2023 Karen Darlene Kurch, daughter of Basil and Lola Kurch, passed away peacefully at the Hospice of Hamilton, Ohio. She was 68 years of age.
Karen had a very large heart by welcoming others into her life by helping them; doing anything for them. This attribute made her loved by all. She loved all life.
Karen had a colorful life. She was a Playboy Bunny while joining that family for many years and then went into the business of fine dining and catering. Her cooking skills were impeccable.
Her love and desire was to live at the beach where she could be with her animals, which were her children. Karen was also a breast cancer survivor and an animal rescuer.
A social gathering will be held at the Paul R. Young Funeral Home (3950 Pleasant Ave. Hamilton, OH 45011) from 5 to 7 pm on Monday, August 21, 2023. In lieu of giving flowers, Karen's wish would be for a donation to the women's National Breast Cancer Foundation (7460 Warren Pkwy Suite 150 Frisco, TX 75034) or Animal Friends Rescue Project (P.O. Box 51083 Pacific Grove, CA 93950).

Sweet, sweet Karen! How I have missed your emails and how I cherish visit to me in Florida a couple of years ago. I remember well so many years ago, while I was a nine year old child staying overnight with your mother, Lola, that her mother called and said there was a lovely baby girl at the hospital needing an adopted family. Since your mother had a hearing problem, I had to translate the phone call and before we knew it you had arrived, I have watched you grow up. Your mother and dad were richly blessed to have you in their lives and I am so glad I was helpful that you were adopted into a wonderful loving family. I miss you terribly. With love and blessings, signed, Linda Layburn Secrest
