Karleen graduated from Bowler High School in 1961. She went onto school and graduated in 1963 with a Laboratory Technician Degree. She worked for many years in the Milwaukee area as a Lab Technician and later in Antigo and Wausau, leaving eventually to raise her family. Karleen had many gifts including painting, cooking, gardening and coaching the girls basketball team at Zion Lutheran School. She was an exceptionally gifted pianist and for many years enjoyed playing her favorite hymns, classical music and performed at weddings. She was an avid fan of the Green Bay Packers and it was well known not to call during a game. Her sense of humor was known by all and our birthdays won't be the same without her serenades.
