Her artwork was featured in the Western Star newspaper, St. Anthony Messenger magazine, juried art shows in Cincinnati, private galleries and graced the walls of many friends and family members.
Karen had a very tender heart towards animals of all kinds. She loved and cared for many during her life. These included all the farm animals that shared the farm she grew up on, to the many dogs and cats she had over the years. But more than anything or anyone else, she had a deep and abiding love of Jesus Christ. She devoted her life to sharing his story to anyone who would listen.
