Karen was a happy soul who brought warmth and kindness to everyone around her. She was known for her gentle spirit and never having a cross word to say. She attended the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater and went on to become an entrepreneur, opening her own T-shirt shop. In 1978, Karen moved to Florida, where she began a new chapter in her life as a real estate agent.
An avid reader, Karen enjoyed the simple pleasures in life, including her love of orchids and her interest in coin collecting. She had a compassionate heart and generously donated her time to the local animal shelter, reflecting her love and care for animals in need. Karen was also a proud Auxiliary member of American Legion Post 159.
Karen leaves behind her beloved son, Tony Weldon (Margo Schultz), along with many dear friends who will cherish her memory. She will be remembered for her cheerful nature, kind heart, independent spirit, and the many ways she touched the lives of those around her. Her warmth, generosity, and gentle presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
A private service will be held for family. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to EARS of Englewood or to a favorite local animal shelter in honor of Karen’s love for animals.
