Karla was born on March 12, 1936 in Alliance OH to George and Anna Kellner. She graduated from Alliance High School with the Class of 1954 and lived in the Alliance area until 1985. Karla had worked for the Marlington School District at one time before accepting a job as Parts Department Manager with Classic Aircraft Corporation in Lansing Michigan, a position she held until her retirement in 2014.
Karla was intensely committed to the welfare of all animals. For many years she personally cared for a sizeable number of community cats that frequented her country home and was diligent in her efforts to ensure that they had food and water daily, no matter the weather. Karla loved her job distributing the parts used for the assembly of new aircraft. She was proud that she could identify most any part by sight and tell you the part number, and was a sympathetic listener to any of her fellow employees’ problems. She was a good and gentle person who loved everyone unconditionally.
Karla was preceded in death by her father George and her mother Anna. She is survived by her brother George, son Jeff, daughter Becca, and grandchildren Katy, Kassidy, and Maddox.
No funeral service is being held.
