Karen’s family and friends will miss her terribly. She will be remembered for her sense of humor, her love for kids, amazing home cooked meals, and most importantly her kind soul. One of her personal favorite pastimes seemed to be “organizing” things around the house so Dennis and her children couldn’t find them.

She enjoyed spending her free time soaking the views of her best friend’s pond, landscaping (maybe not the process, but the final product), camping, cooking, raising monarch butterflies, spending time with her grandkids, family, friends, grandpups, and talking at length with just about anyone that happened to be within earshot. Over their 33 years of marriage Karen kept Dennis on his toes by sometimes biting off more than she could chew with projects around the house. They had four kids who Karen generously gives credit to for helping add sleek grey strands to her blonde hair over the years. Karen married Dennis in July of 1986, and even though she knew he was a Bears fan from Illinois, she still loved him, even through football season….in sickness and in health….in Packer wins and Bear losses.
