I am one of many Ohio State grads who had the pleasure of living at Karen's rooming house while attending college. She was a dear friend to everyone who knew her. She always was concerned for others and went out of her way to help those in need. She set an example for all of us to follow. I'll miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.

I only had the pleasure of knowing Karen for just over 3 years. In that time she was a good friend. She was always there to show me the way in the OHMR.

Karen was the god-mother of two of my children: Karl (12) and Dorothy (6). They visited her in the nursing home and at hospice regularly to pray with her and for her. I have hope that now her prayers will be with my children for years to come.

Karen was a fellow classmate at Capital Law School and fellow officer at the Ohio Military Reserve. She did her best to help others, and I am deeply saddened to learn of her passing on.

To the family and friends of Karen~
I remember Karen from her days at Franklin County. She was one of the most caring individuals - always giving her time to help those who couldn't help themselves. I am sure she accrued God's many blessings throughout her life.
