"Sympathies to the family. I worked with Karen at the courthouse for about 39 years. What a sweet caring person who always had a smile on her face. She loved her family and always spoke highly of you all and loved to tell stories. She will be so missed."

Brenda Ray Fremont, NE December 13, 2025
"I worked with Karen volunteering at what was then called Low Income Ministry. She was really so nice and we enjoyed visiting between doing our job details. In the years since, we would see each other at various stores in town and catch up. Know you will miss her! She was a very nice lady."
