I love this lady. She lived next door when I was younger. She was such a beautiful person. She was like family to us. I am going to miss her a lot. God has another Angel now. I wonder if she'll see my dad.

Karen Hoever was a special person. I missed her when she left Parkview as their stylist. No one can ever replace her wit, her laugh, her sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Will there be service? Will there be a burial that we might attend?
Rest in peace, Karen. Peace and love Carole Andres

Sorry to hear of Karen's passing. We would laugh and reminisce about class of 66 at Shear Design years ago.

Im so very sorry to be seeing this announcement today. I graduated FHS with Karen and remember her beautiful red hair and freckles and her exuberance and laughter, especially in the several gym classes we shared. Weve bumped into each other over the years and her quick smile has not faded in the least. Im truly sorry for this loss for your entire family. I will post her obituary along with her class picture on The Class of 66 pages on Facebook. Gone too soon! Rest In Peace Karen, safe in the arms of Jesus.
Sincerely, in Christ, I pray for your family.
