Karen was a longtime friend, from our days in Collegiate 4H Club at OSU to introducing me to the Beaverton School district where we worked as teachers and librarians. She was a fellow IFYE (International Farm Youth Exchange) delegate and a family friend. We watched our kids grow up and shared many summer family BBQ's. Always caring and thoughtful, she will be missed.

Karen was a dear friend. We worked together at Cooper Mt and ski together in the 70's. Since then we had kept in touch with lunches and cards. Art and I will miss her.

I was just thinking of Karen, one of the first librarians I met in BSD. Karen was always moving, truly concerned about kids & grownups. Sometimes she would pull me in and in her quiet voice relay a story with a joke at the end and the sweetest smile. How could you not love her? She was adorable.
You did amazing thing here Karen Wedeking. Thank you.
Rest in Aloha my dear friend.
