Karina Montano

Karina is survived by her two children, Kassidy and Chase; her brother, David; sisters, Krystal, Kathy, and Sylvia; parents, Roel and Jane Montano (Torrez); and thirteen nieces and nephews.

Karina will be remembered as the loving mother, daughter, sister, and friend that she always was. She was full of life, always energetic, spunky, sassy, and confident. She was generous, loving, and always willing to find a way to help anyone in need. She loved to dance, sing karaoke, and make videos. Those memories of her will forever be cherished by those who were fortunate enough to know and love her. Above all else, Karina loved her kids more than anything in the world and one of her final wishes was for them to know that everything will be okay.
