I had business dealings with Karla in Jacksonville, FL, when she worked for a battered women's shelter and later for the Morocco Shrine Auditorium.
We frequently spoke on a personal level and personally enjoyed each other, although we never met as friends away from work-related activities.
I have not spoken with her in several years, and just now decided to look her up.  I am crushed that the world lost such a good person so young, and that I just missed her, relative to when we last spoke.  Rest in peace, great woman.

So sorry to here of Karla's passing. I loved my cous, and shared a lot of great times growing up and going to school together. I will really miss here. Pat Karst

It was so nice to reconnect with Karla in 2019 after going all through school together and losing touch after graduating . I will miss you Karla! Mary

Oh wow! I am so saddened by this news. My prayers to this wonderful, fun and caring family! 
Karla was one of the best to hang out with as a child! I think we tried to see who  Could come up with the craziest things to do without getting into too much trouble.  I loved my summer stays at the big house on Lafountain in Huntington . Oh how I miss those days! I really don’t know how Pat survived ! I still look for the house as I pass thru Huntington, reliving all the fun times we shared. My prayers to all of her family. I know there will be a void but there are so many great memories made.  
Hugs to all!

There are so many memories of my sister Karla, one that stands out  is when in 2006 she flew me to her home in Jacksonville FL to go to Gainesville to attend Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers 30th anniversary concert! For me it was the concert of my life for I am a huge fan, we ended up with unbelievably great seats and the show was phenomenal! She even rented a motel room in Gainesville for us to spend the night, right off highway 441, what a great time we had!  Love you sister, will miss you forever.

So sorry to hear of Karla. Prayers for her and the entire family.  When I think of Karla I just smile, because that is what she did so often and so well. That great big smile. I will never forget it. She was one of the good ones, and will be missed by all. So sorry for your loss. May her soul rest in peace.

This news breaks my heart. What a very sweet tribute you guys did. Karla was definitely a “glass half full” girl. She was a sweetheart and so full of life. I have so many wonderful memories of our young years together and the house on LaFontaine and our teen years and times at the reservoir. I miss those days sooo much. I love each of you very much and my heart hurts for you for your loss of this sweet one!! 

I am so sorry to hear of Karla's passing.  My thoughts and prayers to the family.
  It has been many years since growing up on LaFontaine St.; but as I get older, I do think of those times we all were playing in John St or in the neighborhood yards.

I am very sorry for your loss and share our prayers to your family.

My deepest sympathy and prayers to all of you at this difficult time. My friendship with Karla will always be treasured by me, so many great memories with her through high school and after. No matter how long it had been since we last talked, we could always pick up where we left off. We were each others "sweeties", this started in high school and always referred to each other as that. I will miss her dearly. 


Dear Pat and Okuly kids, So sorry to see that Karla is gone. I loved all of you and have some great memories of all of you. I babysat most of you and knew all of you. My prayers and thoughts are with you all at this sad time. Love to you all. Tootsie 

My dear friend, I will always have wonderful memories of you. I think 8th grade was the beginning of a stellar year and I am really going to miss you. I pray that your soul will Rest In Peace.
