Fond memories from years ago at the Merrillville Church of Christ. Karen was one of the first College age ladies I knew when I was in Jr High. She was always so friendly and kind. Great memories. Diane, Dewey and Debbie send our love and prayers to her family.
Sending my condolences to the family. Karen was one of my best friends throughout high school and continued to be. Even though we didn’t see each other very often, we kept in touch. I will miss her. Love to all.
My condolences to Norma and Karen’s family on the passing of this beautiful lady. We met through a bible study at church that Karen and Norma were attending at Trinity UMC and became friends. Karen was very friendly supportive and willing to help or do whatever you asked of her.
She will be missed.
