Karen L Borger

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Thomas R. Borger; her parents, Russell (Howard) and Marie Staup; and her sister, Sandra (Sue) Eades.

Karen’s memory will be cherished by her children, Sheryl L. (Gregg Crabtree) Evans, Sandra K. (Eric) Packard, and Thomas R. (Nancy) Borger, Jr. She was a proud and loving grandmother to Christina R. (Lamon Gray) Ullrich, Michelle L. (Larry) Downing, John Michael (Jennie) Flaim, Sarah M. Carlisle, Katie L. (Adam) Burgher, Emily K. (Dale) Dreibelbis, Robert E. Borger, and Ryan T. Borger. She was also blessed with 16 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren, each of whom brought her tremendous joy.

Karen devoted over 30 years of her life as a respiratory therapist at the former Good Samaritan Hospital, where her compassion and dedication touched countless lives. Beyond her career, she found happiness in giving back, supporting several charitable organizations throughout her life. Karen also loved traveling, especially cruises, and found joy in creating and collecting hand-made quilts, crocheting, reading, and collecting Olaf keepsakes. Her quilts, like her spirit, were stitched with love, warmth, and care.
