Warm hugs to Karen's family and friends. I will always remember all the slumber parties we had at her house. Bless her Mom for putting up with all us girls. We had so much fun!
I haven't seen Karen in many years, but I remember her well.We had so much fun together as teenagers, the black Barracuda brings back many memories.

My dearest cousin Karen was a happy child. I remember the fun we had together and the love we had for each other. Karen loved drawing and painting as a child and we used to draw together.
She was always willing to listen. She always made you feel welcome.
She had a great love for her pet cat, Wang and her more recent cat Wu, whom has now been adopted by her son. She always talked about her cats and how much she loved them and she always talked of her love for her son Sean and her daughter Paula.
She loved to look out the window of her apartment and watch the ice fishermen. She would tell me about how they would sit out on the ice and have a fire. I really enjoyed hearing her stories. She was a great one for family history.
I will miss all our long phone calls.
Karen will always be remembered as a very creative person and talented artist.
She will be truly missed by many.
I remember Karen from school, possibly from middle school at Washington and we graduated from Central 1966. Thanks for sharing her story and as an artist how she made an impact in this world. R.I.P. Carol Batzer Niederquell
