Karen Wilkinson Obituary
Karen was born on October 6, 1941 and lived in Greeley, Platteville, and LaSalle area all her life. After graduation from LaSalle High School she was accepted into the X-ray Technician course at the Weld County General Hospital graduating June 1961.

Karen is survived by her husband Leslie, daughter Leasa, son Jeff (Jana), grandchildren Nick Magnuson, Michelle Wicke (Aaron), Brian, Jessica Wilkinson, brother Larry Lendrum (Sue). She was preceded in death by her parents Robert and Thelma (Nelson) Lendrum and a sister Betty Carothers.

We are so sorry about your loss of a loved one. May you find comfort in the thankfulness for the life she lived.
Although it has been years ago, I still remember Karen's sense of humor when we took an exercise class together in the old La Salle gym and when it was time to cool down she always said that the neck rolls were the best part of the class.
May God Bless your family. Darrell and Angie Rains

A little girl couldn't have asked for a better neighbor growing up. When I think of Karen, I will always think of sunshine and with that comes warmth, joy and yellow! Her soft chuckle of a laugh will stay with me always and I'm sure will come to mind in the silliest of situations. I'm so glad to have had the whole Wilkinson family in my life. May the joyous memories outshine the sorrow.
With love and hugs, Jill Oster Jamison

Karen is the woman I hope to be. She was there for me when I was down and I have always called her my angel from that point on. She has a smile on her face now. Hugs Kim Higuera

I can't look at a cookie or a bingo card without thinking of Karen and the fun we had. Our birthday lunches and Christmas bingo parties will never be the same again. The sunshine she brought to all of us now lives in our hearts and memories. Thank you Karen for your friendship thru the years, the hugs, the laughs, your caring heart.
