Karen enjoyed music, bridge, cooking, tennis, and travel. She was an accomplished pianist and was partial to powerful works by Rachmaninoff and Chopin. One of Karen’s most ardent passions was the music and theology of the various Lutheran churches she belonged to. She was a founding member of Our Savior Lutheran in Marshalltown. At whatever church she joined, she loved singing in the choir and attending Bible study. Karen died on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, at the Huntsville Hospital in Huntsville, Alabama. She had moved to Huntsville two years prior to be near her family.
