Karen was a caring and loving mother, and everyone who had the pleasure of getting to know her was instantly struck by her warm and happy disposition. She was the epitome of selflessness, always willing to do without so that those around her could be comfortable. She was very patriotic, and was a proud member of the United States Army for several years. Before she became an angel in heaven she was truly an angel on earth. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
