Karen Eismann Obituary
A graduate of Hinsdale South High School, Karen earned her Registered Nurse Certification from the Wesley-Passavant School of Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Chicago, Illinois, in 1976, continuing in Nursing until her retirement. An excellent classical and church organist, Karen also enjoyed traveling, boating, fishing, cooking, sewing, decorating, and caring for her many fur-babies throughout the years.
Karen is survived by her daughter, Kristen Longo (Ron), her son, Rick Fredrickson (Chelsea), 2 grandchildren, 2 step-grandchildren, her sisters, Myra Tanner and Paula Donner (Dale), and her brothers, Brian Surina (Danuta), and David Surina (Cecilia), as well as many nieces and nephews.
Karen's memory will live on through the patients she cared for and the hearts she touched during her lifetime.
