So sorry to hear of Karen's passing. I worked with her in the 80's at American Sunroof Co., she was the best mentor and co-worker. She spoke of her family all the time, you had her heart. The world has one less classy lady. Hugs to you all.

My heartfelt sympathies to the Charlie family and all who loved Karen. She was a sweet, wonderful, life-giving friend. She will be missed. I met Karen when she worked with Penny Swiger and Elayne Schroeder in the late 1980's. There hasn't been a time when Karen didn't speak to me. She has always been a light in my life. I looked forward to our conversations since she gave you her undivided attention. She always talked about her family with love in her heart. Her granddaughter, Kendall, is/was...

Our sympathies to the Charlie family. We were privileged to know Karen, she was such a wonderful and joyful lady. She was proud of her family and a dear friend to many. Karen always had a smile and we loved the stories she would tell, such a great sense of humor. Karen joined us a few years ago for a ladies night out dinner, what a treat to be able to spend time with her that evening.
She will be deeply missed,
Love, the Ayotte’s
