Karen will be greatly missed. She was always a cheerful, wise, giving, energetic, inspirational, and helpful person during the time I worked at Christ The King Lutheran Church. I was blessed to know her. Brian and Greg you are in my prayers and thoughts. God Bless.
I had the privilege of being on the hiring committee at Trinity Lutheran church in Madison when we hired Karen.
An excerpt from an e-mail we received from her back in April, 2016 – “I am so excited about the possibility of continuing work in a church office. The nearly ten years I have served as Office Manager at St. John’s have been such a gift to me. I have come to enjoy and appreciate the relationships, joys, challenges and the many unpredictable things that accompany daily life in the church office.”
She was a wonderful and fun-loving person, always available and a joy to everyone who met her. She was the front door to our church and displayed a smiling and welcoming face to all who entered. We were blessed to have her. We would go out to lunch a few times just to talk and she always spoke of her love of family, especially her son, Gregory. I have missed her since her move to Sheboygan but always thinking we would get together in the future. Here’s to you, Karen – love and miss you and will meet you in heaven!
I was heartbroken to hear of Karen's passing. She was always smiling, clever and witty, and ready to help me out anyway she could in the church office. I was sad to see her leave for Sheboygan and knew anywhere she worked would be lucky to have her. My condolences to family and friends--you will be in our prayers at Trinity in Madison.
Karen was a wonderful church administrator. She was so kind to all who crossed her path and so skilled at her job. Stopping in the church office and visiting with her for a few minutes was like sitting down for milk and cookies with an old friend. My condolences to her family.
I'm so sorry to hear this. I have fond memories of singing, playing violin, and performing in middle school and high school shows with Karen.
I’m so sorry to hear of Karen’s passing. I have fond memories of dancing with her at The Platteville School of Dance. You all are in my thoughts an prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all!!! We had a lot of fun memories together as kids!
Our family is so sorry for your loss Nick and Kathy. Our prayers to you, Brian and Gregory. May you feel God's presence in the days to come and may He bring you peace.
