Karin Poola

Sincere condolences to your family. You fought the battle for so long and now you are at peace. We shared so much about your treatments and Martys that many will never understand unless they have gone through it themselves. I have been sending you text these past few weeks and couldn't understand why you never responded. Our friendship grew from the first day we met. You will forever be in my heart. My prayers to your Mom, niece and family. Friends forever, Ann Murphy

Karin was a beautiful soul and brightened my day whenever she came for treatment. I loved her smile and the conversations we had about everything, including her final party. My sincerest condolences to her friends and family, especially her mom. She will be deeply missed.

Karin’s dedication to the Bar Association was legendary. With a smile on her face and her usual good humor, she kept us organized, informed, and in the black. Past Bar Presidents will attest to her invaluable assistance. Fellow cancer warriors are inspired by her indomitable spirit. The Courthouse Bar Office with Karin behind the desk was a respite for those of us who could remember the door code; if we didn’t, she still greeted us warmly, a home away from home. Her smile, her...

We never did make that last drink, best laid plans of mice and men. What a profound loss. May her memory be for a blessing. May her soul be bound up in the bond of life. And May she Rest In Peace.

Karin your smile and generosity of spirit will be missed. I will also miss our time chatting and am so sorry that we did not get that last glass of wine in the sun together. You were so brave in your battle. Rest in peace and know that you made this world a happier place. Love, Maureen

IF YOU GREW UP IN LAKEWOOD, YOU KNEW KARIN WAS A REAL LAKEWOOD GIRL. SHE WAS WARM, FUN LOVING, AND HARDWORKING. KARIN DID SO MUCH FOR THE BAR ASSOCIATION AND WE HAVE TO BE GRATEFUL FOR HER EFFORTS. EVERYONE BEFORE AND AFTER ME THAT HAD THE HONOR OF SERVING LEARNED WHAT A TREMENDOUS HELP SHE WAS. KARIN, WE WILL MISS YOU.

I cannot say that I knew Karin very well. What I can say is that she was always very kind and accommodating whenever I had a question or needed something. She will truly be missed.

Karin will be so deeply missed, not just by the members of the Ocean County Bar Association but by anyone who felt the warm sunshine of her smile. She was so courageous in her last battle, an inspiration to all. Rest well my friend, there is no more pain. Your memory will live forever. Marlene Lynch Ford, Assignment Judge, Ocean County Vicinage
