Condolences to the Marcks family, her sister Jayne, brother Ted and all who knew and loved Karen.
Karen was a memorable classmate back in the days at Harrison-Morton. She contacted me last year and we chatted a bit. Karen recalled that we were cooking partners in jr high. I remember her most for her athletic competitiveness and energy. While her last years were beyond challenging, she always held her faith. May she forever Rest In Peace in the afterlife. Many will miss Karen.

Words of sympathy and compassion for the friends and family of Karen. She was such a strong inspiration for the younger generations of women as a devoted wife and mother. Praise Jesus for her salvation and new heavenly body reunited in heaven with her baby son. Praying for everyone and my apologies for the absence at the funeral due to travel. Sincerely, Ali
