She moved to the Ravenna area 25 years ago and was a paramedic for the last 15 years. She enjoyed her work with the Paris and Palmyra Fire Departments, Summa Health- Green Campus and most recently the Akron Children’s Burn Unit. Karen was a fun loving individual with a radiant smile. She enjoyed crocheting blankets and scarfs and loved animals, especially her two dogs, cat and rabbit.

She is also survived by her siblings: Andrea (Steve) Kieffer, David (Tracy) Smoake, Abigail Smoake and Elizabeth (Abdelrahman) Alzorgan. She also leaves her loving aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
