Karen Sue exemplified the many blessings of serving in Catholic health care during her years at St. Mary's Health Center working with the late Sr. Betty Brucker, FSM, and many others. She always had a big heart, kind word and tried to assist those in need. Having met Vanessa and her husband Joe on a few occasions, Karen Sue exemplified family love and hope for the best in family and others that many of us witnessed first hand. With Joe's health challenges, she was always there to help. She leaves a legacy of loving service. Please accept prayerful condolences during this time of loss especially during this tragic pandemic. May Karen Sue rest in peace with her husband and all who journeyed to God's welcoming embrace. Eternal rest grant unto Karen, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine on her. Amen!
