I worked with Karen many years ago when she was in the Chemistry Department. We were also members of the same quilting group. Karen was a kind soul and dedicated employee. She cared so much about doing good - a good job, good quilting, good mother, good friend, all around good person. I will miss her greatly.

Although I met Karen only once during a brief visit to Ames several years ago, I got to know her sweet and kind nature through my ongoing video conversations mostly with Danny but sometimes with Karen as well. From all that Danny has told me over the years, she was a real blessing to him. I’m so thankful that she is with her Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ now with no pain, tears or fears.

Deepest sympathy. I knew her via emails when my children attended Cyclone Swim school. Such a good hearted and helpful person. I am so sorry for your loss.

Ramona Wierson on Jan 2, 2022

Deepest sympathy and prayers for all the family in the passing of Karen. I met Karen at church in the 1970’s and also worked with her for awhile at Iowa State. Karen was a wonderful giving person who loved the Lord. She “fought a good fight and kept the faith.” One can only imagine what she is experiencing now with her Lord and Savior who has called her home.

I worked with Karen for many years at ISU in the Continuing Education Department with connecting cubicles. After retirement we did a lot of quilting projects together. She was a loyal friend and I enjoyed our talks and quilting times. I will miss you my friend. Keep quilting!
