Karin Marie Sefcik Treiber

I work in Admitting at Methodist Hospital. When Karin came in I would always make her feel good. I enjoyed taking with her. She was very wise and compassionate. I will miss her deeply. Lori Heinz (Registrar)

Karin was a tireless volunteer in Rotary and although we are in different clubs we worked on several projects together. She was calm, capable, caring and got things done. She was very special and I know you will miss her greatly.

When I think of Dr. Treiber, all I can say is that she was an angel sent by God to this earth who touched so many people. She was more interested in other's welfare than her own. She always had the best smile and positive attitude even when she knew her days were counted. She has the best character and she focused on building relationship with God and others. She told me that “our life is what our thoughts make it”. Her life goal was to connect everyone in this world with a higher power. She lived a simple life serving others in her community to make a difference in this world. I am sure she will be busy organizing many projects in heaven now.

Karin's departure leaves a huge vacuum in our lives given the pillar of support she was to us. No words can capture in its entirety the very kind, generous, understanding, gifted, and multitalented person she was. Karin Treiber was God's gift to humanity, especially those in need. May you rest dear friend. How we will miss you.

I lost contact with Karin for many years. We connected again at Aunt Betty's birthday celebration 2 summers ago. I am blessed to have been included in her journey. Karin is enjoying her final reward. My prayers are with her family. I am with you today & tomorrow in spirit. God bless!

Dear Karin was inteligent, warm and gracious; and when she talked about her God and the Blessed Mother she spoke with such reverence it was almost in hushed tones. Walter and I said a rosary for Karin together the day she died. I can envision her joy as she cheers us all on.

We will miss her and pray for Bob, Paul, David and family.

Karin was intelligent, passionate, and joyful. She was all about love and understanding of others around the world. She taught us the meaning of life.

Karin - You've been a great inspiration and role model for Akhila and me. It has been such a privilege knowing you. We will really miss you !

Karin was such a wonderful person. I worked with her at Walden University. She had a way of bringing calmness to crisis situation. This is a tremendous loss.

May you be joyous in Heaven, Mom. I love you always.

This news stunned me. Family and friends of Karin have my heartfelt sympathy. Karin volunteered as a tutor with Minneapolis Adult Education, helping adult immigrants learn English. She was outstanding in this role, due to her skills and personality. Karin was also one of the finest, gracious, most stimulating people I have met. I am sorry for her suffering and yours. I am also happy that she had a happy, fulfilling life.

I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. I knew her through Rotary and worked with her in hosting college-age Youth Exchange Students. She was a force for good and for international understanding and will be greatly missed!

I worked with Karin at Walden University and enjoyed every minute of my association with her. She will be missed.

Karin the love of my life I will miss you and love you forever. You taught me how to love without cost. You were the heart of our home. It was always a joy hearing your animated talks with your sons, your students, friends at St Olaf, etc. You brought so much light into each situation. Miss you so much my dear wife, lover, adventurer and joyous companion.

I'm so sorry to hear of Karen's passing. In my visits to Mpls South Rotary and work on the 5950 e-club, I was always struck by Karen's optimism and energy. We were blessed to have her. Sorry I will miss services as I will be on retreat. Blessings and prayers your way.

In the Passing away of Karin the world looses a great passionate educator. The Rotary Club of Nagpur .India, had a unique distinction to be associated with her in our Projects for young mind - Vocational excellence workshop at Dharampeth Science College,Nagpur
Our Heartfelt condolences go to Bob, Paul, David and all her near & Dear Ones. May God give her Eternal Peace

Your family is in my prayers,
