Karen was known for her incredible outgoing sense of humor and all-around fun, upbeat attitude. She was a joy to be with; and was famous for her wry wit that would light up any room. Karen was not shy in speaking her mind; bringing any tense situation to an abrupt halt with blunt but precise eloquence. She had a big heart and an unlimited compassion for others. She enjoyed the simple pleasures of life which included spending lots of time with family. The radiance of light that she emitted is evidenced by how many people she touched in profound but simple ways during her life. She had a strength and tenacity of character that she truly showed by never letting her greatest tragedy ever take away her joy. She lived her life to the fullest
