A truly wonderful friend, coworker, and, most notably, human being. At work Karen did so much to help others succeed sometimes with very little recognition but that did not deter her. Karen was exceptionally strong willed and not afraid to stand up for what was right, especially for the benefit of others. I was fortunate enough to work with Karen for many years but with her passion for her job, tireless energy, and creating a family atmosphere it really didn't feel like work.
A very unselfish person. Karen put everyone else's happiness ahead of her own, sometimes to a fault.
The world is a better place because of Karen. I treasure the time we shared and she will never be forgotten.
God bless you Karen. Job well done!! Rest in peace.
