Karol Kline Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens & Funeral Home - Osceola on Dec. 24, 2025.
Karol Kay Kline, 76, of Mishawaka, passed away peacefully on Monday, December 22, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

Karol was born on May 13, 1949, in South Bend, Indiana, to the late Edward Frank and Teresa Marie (Vida) Kintner. She was a proud graduate of Penn High School, Class of 1967, and went on to attend The Vogue Beauty School. She was also preceded in death by a granddaughter Kimberly Guilmette and her sister-in-law, Linda Kintner.

On October 18, 1969, Karol married the love of her life, Larry Kline, in Mishawaka. Their marriage was the foundation of a life filled with love, laughter, and devotion to family. Being a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother brought Karol her greatest joy, and she especially loved staying connected with family and friends-often by long phone conversations.

Karol lived life fully and enthusiastically. She served as treasurer of the Indiana Harley-Davidson Owners Group state rallies for 15 years, a role she took great pride in. She loved traveling, shopping, cooking, and simply enjoying life's everyday moments.

She is survived by her loving husband, Larry Kline; her son, Tom (Lauri) Kline; her grandsons, Kyle Kline (Chelsea Ravish), Tyler Guilmette; her great-grandchildren, Addison and Kayson; her brother, Robert Kintner; her niece, Lori (Jim) Klimeck, her nephew, Brent (Vicki) Kintner; and her great-nephew, Bobby.

The family will receive friends on Friday, January 2, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m., with the funeral service beginning at 1:00 p.m. at Chapel Hill Funeral Home, Osceola, Indiana.

Entombment will follow at Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens Mausoleum.
