Rest in peace!

Karen was my friend, coworker, supervisor, and mentor. I learned so much from her, not only about insurance, but about compassion for others, raising children, and cooking! She lifted me up when I was low and empowered me to be better. I missed her when she left the Department, and I tried to fill her shoes. I still miss her. My sympathies to the family. You meant everything to her.

Your Mom was the greatest person. She always wore a smile and even on our most challenging days we had fun. My sincere sympathy on her passing. Dale Emerson

Saddened, just been made aware of her passing. I am fortunate to have so many good memories of her from our younger days! My thoughts and prayers are with her family now, which I know meant the world to her.

Oh Missy I am so sorry. I was just thinking about her. I didn't know she was sick. [email protected] Give me a call when you can. Barbara 727 804 7628

I had many great and fun times with Karen and Bill to remember for sure! All the times at Shelbyville, at WHS football, baseball and basketball and certainly at each other's home. My condolences to all you kids. My thoughts are with you all.
