Karen attended Beardstown High School. She was employed by Capitol Records in Jacksonville, Excel in Beardstown, Bartlow Brothers in Rushville, Body Image Fitness and Tanning in Beardstown and her favorite responsibility was raising her family. She had a passion for shopping and would take anyone along that wanted to go. Karen could get lost inside a store looking for the perfect items to purchase for hours at a time. She enjoyed traveling with her husband Jim and visiting her daughter in Arizona. Karen was kindhearted but most of all she wanted the best for her family and will be greatly missed by all those who knew her.
