Karen’s greatest passion

health treatment and act-

ed as a clinical manager

tals in the Seattle region.

Karen had a vivacious

spirit and contagious posi-

tivity that affected all

those in her presence. She

had a curiosity for life, the

gift of gab and always

remarked that she “never

met a stranger”. She was a

green thumb in the gar-

den, an avid shopper, a

fierce film buff and loved

all things entertainment.

Her laughter was conta-

gious, her humor quirky

and her beauty bright.

Karen will be remem-

bered always as someone

who loved with all her

heart and will be truly

missed by many, includ-

ing her grandchildren

who know her as NiNi.

out the rest of her life sur-

rounded by friends and

family.
