We were neighbors in Tinley Park for a good many years. Karin would always be there when you needed help in any way. She lived her life well and firmly believed in the Good Lord and always.....always had a lot of faith. May the Good Lord be with her and may she sit at His table of generosity and love. She is well deserving. Karin worked hard and laughed a lot when she could. May she rest in peace. Love you.

I attended Taft Grade School with Karin. I remember her as a very bright student with a great sense of humor. If our 8th grade class were a Family, Karin would have been the Mother of that Family.

My sincerest sympathy to the family of Karin Becker Bartels. I have known Karin her entire life....along with her parents, her sister, her mother Helen Marie Fellman Becker (Heme).....through school and church and growing up not far away from each other in Lockport. Her adoptive Mother, Heme Becker, was my second cousin....so I think of Karin as family also. I am so sorry I cannot be at her Funeral as we will be out of town at that time. Love and prayers to Karin's family.

Karin and I met at LTHS. We both attended Joliet Junior College. We road together and also worked part-time at the Boston Store in downtown Joliet. I have many fun memories of the times we spent together. Over the years we periodically would visit with eachother and catch up as if we had never been apart.
