Karen Folk Obituary
Karen was the loving sister of Marsha (Dean) Cawrse, aunt of Lisa (Doug), Jennifer (Adam), and Brian (Nicole) and eight great nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her loving parents, Richard and Jean Folk of Eastlake, Ohio.
Karen was a quiet soul who took great pleasure in simple things. She loved music, movies and eating out in restaurants. Her true spirit shone through her incredible kindness, sweet nature and loving heart. She found comfort in the love of her family and the compassionate care of the staff at the Scenic Point Nursing Center. Her memory will forever remain in our hearts.
A celebration of her life will be held on January 10, Saturday, 11 am at Shoregate United Methodist Church in Willowick, Ohio.
In lieu of flowers the family requests donation be made to the National Alliance on Mentoral Health (NAMI).

Karen was always a joy to work with. She had a pleasant and sweet demeanor. I miss seeing her doing her hula hoop and cartwheels.
