Karen loved commercial fishing and ice fishing with her dad, and on many occasions, Karen had her own commercial license which she went on her own, most times she went out with her dad Marvin and with her kids dad Brad, commercial fishing was her passion.

Karen loved spending time with her children and cherished them through actions, giving them her first priority in everything she had to offer and gave them unconditional love.

She loved spending time with her friends especially with Chaylene Redsky and Brittney Comegan always joked around and had fun with them, she had a fun sense of humour always joking. She loved listening to music and liked to sing but just around people she was close with she had a heart of gold and would help anyone who needed it. Her favourite movies were grumpier old men, Pee wee Herman and Ernest movies and Friends.

Karen was a part in every family occasions that came about Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter dinners. Her best babysitter was Savannah if she would send a message to her she never hesitated to come by.

Pallbearers will be Luke, Brandon, Jeff and Jon Mandamin, Curtis Greene, Darcey Greene, Josh and Aaron Redsky and Brandon Bird.
