Karen was an artist and attended the Philadelphia Art School. She enjoyed
drawing, sewing, and working in her garden. She was very laid back and was
very easy to get along with. She lived off the grid in the 1970s. Being an
awesome mom was her favorite hobby.
There will be a Celebration of Life held on a later date.
Arrangements are under the direction of White-Love Funeral Home, Chesterton.
