Karen was always full of surprises for her nieces and nephews.  Her visits were always fun and exciting, getting the children all wound up and laughing hysterically.  There was never a dull moment when she came.

Karen you will be so missed.  You were the keeper of decades-old  stories of the Family Tree. You kept cousins in touch with other cousins and you never forgot a name. I could not speak to you for months and then pick with you right where we left off. Your organizational skills for getting family together were always so very much appreciated. I hope they have Pastina in heaven. Love you Cuz

Dear Claire and all the Youngs,
We are so very sorry for this most tremendous loss. Karen was a force – she made things happen, boy she got things done, and made everything she touched that much better. Always with such wit and fun. The epitome of kind and thoughtful. She mobilized us all (think the infamous Reno road rally of 2010), connected us with her thorough updates, even traced our family history, the list goes on… She will be greatly missed but forever in our hearts.

Much love from San Diego, 
The Rolls/Mathewson/Reutz Families


A rare shot of Karen (not evading the camera.)

Aunt Karen was my beloved godmother and the one who tried to get me good at math. Though that didn’t pan out, she encouraged me to travel the world, try new things, and never back down from a challenge. Her teasing joy and enduring love for chocolate swirl through all my wonderful memories of her, from before I even remember. She was always part of my life. 

I always remember Karen at the family reunions bringing great new toys from her travels. She just loved explaining the new ways to have fun. She was a kid at heart while doing that. She brought joy into our family.  Such a smart and caring loving person.  Truly She will be missed but she's no longer in pain.  My condolences to the young family. 

Aunt Claire and family,

My condolences and sorry for the pain and struggle that Karen went through.  She's at peace now and I hope and sense you are all strong in your faith and supporting each other.   I have many fond memories of Karen at our family gatherings, with her always smiling and being the life of the conversation :).  Those times are something I wish my kids could experience.
