Karen's life was marked by her profound love for her family, particularly her three daughters, Lisa, Lauren, and Monica, whom she considered her greatest achievements.

Karen shared a wonderful marriage of 37 years with her beloved husband, David. Their bond was a testament to love, partnership, and mutual respect, and was evident to anyone who encountered the two of them together.
