Obituary

Wow… okay let's talk about someone who lived her life to the fullest.

Karen, known to most as KC, has always been the life of every party

everywhere she goes- like, if we were abducted by aliens- the ALIENS

would think she was our leader… she is just THAT COOL.

My mom grew up in a musical family- met my dad when she was super

young and was the only girl in his band. She was in a biker club; rode

all the way to Sturgis on the back of a bike amongst so much more. Once

she caught- kissed- and released a swordfish on an ocean charter boat.

She could beat anyone at pool, she loved to dance, and she had a huge

heart and an even bigger zest for life.

She was an aviation inspector and went to help start up a company in

Guatemala where she got to live and experience things that so many of us

never will. She was fearless.. beautiful.. and absolutely graceful all the way

to the end of her life… she was a fan favorite by every single one of her

caretakers… she was just so amazing and optimistic.. she never gave up hope…

She went on t0 meet the MANY that went before her. Her baby, Kimberly. The

love of her life, my dad… The other love of her life, my daughter, Kyli…her mom

who we lovingly call Granny Grunt… also, her favorite great-grandma "little Granny"

- she's with the masses now- she leaves her kids, grandkids, a brother,

and sisters behind… as well as her father.. who will be 95 in July- he's still dancing..…

Everyone would call her a butterfly- because she was a little social butterfly-

but she really loved dragonflies… so look out for some 😊
