In their 29 years of marriage, Karen and Jim were blessed with 2 boys Justin, 27, and Ryan, 23; Justin's wife Jessica, and three children, Leah, Joe, and Cole; and Ryan's partner Alexis with a baby on the way.
Karen was raised in Patten Maine and was the youngest of 12.

Karen spent most of her life working in the medical field, primarily in nursing homes, hospitals, and clinics. Karen enjoyed going on side-by-side rides and riding in the car along the coast. She loved going to her boys’ sports games, school events, and Boy Scout activities. One of Karen's greatest joys was playing with her 3 grandkids. In Karen's spare time, she was always up for a game of Scrabble with anyone who wanted to play. Friends and family gravitated toward Karen's good humor and her kind and loving personality. In turn, Karen valued her close connection with her family and loved daily phone calls and visits with her sons, friends and loved ones.
You will be truly missed by everyone you touched. Love you always.
