I worked with Karen in the Industrial Engineering Department. She was a member of the team that hired me. She was a very kind person. I will always be grateful to her and the other members of the team for taking a chance on me.
I know she will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Prayers for the family.
I will miss her so much. We always called each other girlfriend. I have such good memories of being in ASEA and going to the annual convention. She was a true friend. She’s calling the HOGS from a new home now.

Karen presented the American Legion Auxiliary Award every year since I've been at Army ROTC (12 years). She still used her uark.edu e-mail she got to keep when she retired. I was just shocked to hear the news. She was very healthy! I wish I'd had an opportunity to know her better. She seemed so friendly! The photo is her presenting the award last year.
