Karen shared positive energy with those around her and was such a lively, fun person. Karen will forever live in the lives she touched. Prayers to her...

I hadn't known Karen long she was a soft spoken sweet woman who I had gotten the pleasure to help she was always so sad so I took Nova a cat of mine to meet her and she fell in love instantly so I let her stay to keep Karen company and brighten her days. I will never forget her. My heart is broken and I think of her everyday. I'm just thankful for the time I had to make things easier for her rip to you both and with all my love until we meet again. If there's anything I can do to help please...

She was a great teacher . If you are having a bad day she was there with her beautiful smile and some how you felt better . Rip

We are heartbroken at the passing of Karen. We knew Karen when we were fellow educators at Northwest Schools. Karen was a remarkable teacher. She was a kind and caring person who loved being in the classroom with her students. Karen was always a positive force in helping her students succeed academically, and with life skills. Our most sincere thoughts and condolences are extended to Karen's family and friends. Joe and Sue Koziol
