I am Katelyn, her grandchild. She was always so good to me and my cousins. My favorite memory was her showing my how to use plastic canvas. I made an ornament with her that I still have. Definitely one of my favorite times..

Karen & I were childhood friends many, many years ago. Although I haven't seen her in a long time reading her obituary and seeing her chosen career as a nurse, does not surprise me. She had the sweetest, kindest, full of mercy personality. I am sure she excelled as a nurse.
To all Karen's family especially Lorrie& Dave who I see more often please accept my sincere condolences. God bless you all, Sue Canale Pasquarell
