Karen was a devoted wife and mother and was very proud of her family. She could show a fiery side if she felt the need to defend her loved ones.

She was also very proud of her faith and was a member of the Lutheran Church. In her younger years, Karen and Harlan were active in the youth group at Grace Lutheran Church and also helped put on the Easter breakfast.

Karen loved the beach. She spent many relaxing hours on Lake Michigan and also in Mexico.

Her career included work at the Salvation Army DHQ where she spent time in the finance department, the DS office, and human resources. After a short retirement, she returned to the Salvation Army ARC.
