Karen Poling Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Karen's happiest moments were on the back of a motorcycle and she was proud to have ridden with the Hell's Angels back in the day. She was always the life of the party and could bring a smile to everyone she met.

She is survived by children Katherine "Sis" (Craig) Beste, Paul "Igor" Poling, Paul Harnack, David Rothenstein, Larry Harvey and Marci Minich; grandchildren Autumn (Todd), Conner (Nicole); great grandchildren Raylynn, Rylee, Kalianny and Kaiden.
