Karen was one of seven children born on March 31, 1951 in Hillsboro, ND. She grew up in Portland, ND where she graduated High School.

Karen’s heart for Jesus shone bright as she was a light for so many. Her compassion for the church, family and others reflected throughout her life. She was very involved with her church family, enjoyed travelling, relaxing near water, reading, and spending time with her grandkids. She loved sharing her silly jokes, was quick witted, and very creative.
