Karen was a daughter, mother, sister, and best friend. Her love for others was expressed in doing. She gave herself from morning to night, always thinking of someone else. After her father's death in February 1999, she added a large apartment on her home for her mother. She worked full time for Tucson General Surgical Associates, plus caring for her home and her 'babies' (her cats), Trouble, Freddie, Batty, Mittens, Ginger, Mami, and Scarlett. Yet she tirelessly met all of her mother's needs. If she ever sat down she was quilting tiny pieces of material into a beautiful masterpiece. She loved going to concerts, swimming with the dolphins with her daughter, and making huge Halloween costumes for her adult son. Karen was an angel sent from the 'Great Spirit' to keep us all happy. She was a great lady and the strength that held the family together. We love you, we miss you. Private Services will be held at a later date.
