So saddened to learn of such a sudden loss of life way too early. Karen cared deeply for her personal family and workplace family. Continued prayers for Ralph and all those she loved and touched throughout her life.

Karen was always there when I needed her, a listening ear, to the advice, the shoulder to cry on when I needed it the most. Welcoming me into the family and loving me like her own. 25+ years was just not enough time. I hope you found my mom, pulled up a chair and caught up on the last four years. We love you and will miss you. Until we meet again. Love always.

Karen was a long time friend and co-worker. It hit me immediately how much I will miss you. You were a great friend. Condolences to Ralph and all of the family.

Karen & Susie were “the girls next door”, as i grew up. We spent lots of time playing games over the years, went to Tigers games, etc. When Karen had her drivers license, the 3 of us embarked on a few months of “Ecumenical Sundays” i would go to 8am Folk Mass with them, we’d go out for breakfast, then at the 11:00 hour we visited one of the different Protestant churches around town just learning the differences in worship/religious teaching. Probably the only serious thing we did! More...

Although we never met in person, we did have several online conversations. We also share the Ploucha bloodline. Rest in peace, cousin Karen.
