March 12, 1936 ~ August 10, 2021 (age 85)

Even after relocating to Petoskey, she remained an avid Buckeye fan.
Karen never met a stranger, always making new friends of different ages and interests. She loved to talk, oh how she loved to talk. Perpetual motion was her way of life. Always busy either playing golf, attending cultural & educational events, exercising at the Senior Center,or cards & games at Petoskey Bay View Country Club. The Bay View Vespers Concerts were her favorite way to spend the summer Sunday evenings filled with music. Birthday celebrations for herself and others were big events, especially because she loved desserts. Throughout her life, Karen was passionate about all she did but especially her family and numerous friends. But what stood out most was her compassion for others. She cared deeply about everyone she knew. This passion was shown through her volunteer work at Manna Food Project, Hiland Cottage Hospice House and First Presbyterian Church among others.
