Karen Marie Sendek was born on August 29, 1958 to Donald and Pauline Kuyat. She spent many years performing secretarial work before turning to her favorite job of being a mother. She built and put much love and passion into a beautiful home with a lovely garden for decades. Throughout her life, she demonstrated a passion for reading, putting significant effort into her extensive book collection. All who knew her recognized her abilities as a fantastic chef, and she was widely known for hosting joyous occasions that resulted in full hearts and full bellies. She will be so very missed by all the friends and family she touched with her loving heart. She is survived by her daughter Lindsay, her two brothers Richard and David Kuyat, her nieces Lillian, Emilie and Anastasea, and her mother Pauline Mason-Kuyat.
