Karena Scholten

We never got to meet her since we live in different states, but we know she was a beautiful girl inside and out. You have our deepest sympathy. We know she is in the arms of Jesus now.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

She brought a light to our team. I will miss her deeply.

To the Scholten Family, you are in my thoughts and prayer. You raised an amazing young lady. My God comfort and strengthen you.

Heartbroken doesn't begin to describe my feelings.

Although I met Karena at work, she became so much more than a "co-worker", she was my friend. When we were still at the office, all I had to do was make eye contact and she knew what I was thinking. She was a literal force to be reckoned with, I admired her ability to trouble shoot and problem solve...it was unmatched. She could see problems before they arose. She built a team that was recognized by everyone as the 'go to...
