Karen was a 1959 graduate of San Jose High School and enjoyed a long career at several area companies, including Country Companies, Delavan Mutual, Mathis Lumber and the Pekin Prescription Lab. She retired in 2009 at which time she really began to relish her roles as mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Karen took great pleasure in the special connections she made in 15-plus years as a volunteer at the Community Cancer Center as well as the time she spent volunteering at the BroMenn Thrift Shop. She also found enjoyment in her activities as a member of Eastview Christian Church where she was active as a volunteer and participated in Bible Study.
