She was an amazing mother. Every school day morning she would wake up before her sons and make a hot breakfast and practically every day she cooked a full meat, potato and vegetable dinner. Karen rarely missed her sons' school functions or sporting events and often volunteered in their school activities.

Karen last worked and retired from Hendricks County Hospital.

Karen was a giver and a great listener in all of her relationships. Her heart was full of love for her family and friends. Everyone that knew Karen knew her passion in life was her sons.
