Please accept our sincere sympathy in your loss…
Leslie & Denny Wolff
My heartfelt sympathy to all. It is difficult to even express the sadness I feel for Karen’s family. What a great family it is. When I see her smile, that is what I think of when I think of Karen. That smile was there in high school, Second District, Vernon Y , or wherever our paths crossed. Kathy, you will always be a great reminder of the smile and the way you two teased your brother Mike. I am certain you have so many wonderful memories to share. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Many of you may not know, but my Aunt Karen was the first one to attempt to teach me how to drive. This was when we still lived on Pine Street, 2 doors below Grandma and Grandpa Stein. Her car was parked behind Grandpa’s garage and she walked past their house after work to come visit with me and my mom. She commented she was too tired to walk back and get her car so I said I would. She handed me the keys and off I went. After 10 minutes she came to look for me. I was sitting in the driver seat with keys in the ignition. She climbed in the passenger side and we both laughed saying, “I knew you would come looking for me”. She told me to put my foot on the clutch and turn the key. The car jumped forward and hit “Grandpa’s” garage door. Both my feet came up and my hands came up. The car shut off and Karen laughed so hard. I said, “I’m done” and I got out. We traded seats and she drove me home. To this day I am not sure Grandpa knows. I Love You Aunt Karen.
Aunt Karen and Uncle Lee got custody of my bed and were always gracious enough to give me a place to sleep when I came home from the military on leave. When I finally retired, I stayed with them until I found an apartment. It was Christmas and I decided to “finish” decorating the upstairs part of their house for the holidays. Of course, after the revelry I departed on a trip and left them to take the decorations down since I was gone. Boy did I hear about that when I got back. 🙂 She was always willing to help anyone and had a quick and ready laugh. I love her and will miss her terribly.
