I was blessed to share ORU years with Karen. She was maid of honor in my wedding and I was a bridesmaid in her's (since Amy beat me out for the maid of honor spot!) I loved our visits to Texas and her wonderful family and when she would come to Iowa to be with mine. Karen was so spiritually deep, and also so hilarious and fun. I have pictures of Karen during those years that I would be happy to share. My prayers are with her family. She was so special. Marcia Gevock, Fairfield, Iowa
She was always very nice & loving to my grandson, Davian, even when he wasn’t being very nice during daycare. She was approachable & gave helping hints to help me help him. Very loving & caring lady that will be missed by many. Prayers for family.
I was privileged to work under Karen at Williams town for around 11years. She was a wonderful, teacher, and friend. She treated me like I was part of her family, and made such a positive impact in my life.
So many fun memories, especially when we were
involved in my favorite kids program “ The Three Piggy Opera”. What fond memories I will always have if her and her sweet family. 🙏🏼❤️
Karen and I went to high school together and I just remember her as the sweetest person and a great friend. I moved to Hallsville when I was in the 9th grade, and Karen welcomed me with open arms. We used to spend the night with one another along with one of my other best friends, Lola Nixon. We have lost them both too soon. I am so sorry for your loss, and I will be praying for your family- may God comfort you in this time of grief and sadness. Leslie (McDaniel) Shrader
Karen was such a bright light. She was always a joy to be around. Her Godliness showed in her being. We shared many laughs and many tears through the years.
She will be greatly missed but greatly remembered for the love she shared.
I met Karen several years ago. Her love for Jesus was obvious. A person had to spend only five minutes with her to see it. She loved the people she served. Her work at LCS was a ministry and not merely a job. Her godly influence will have a positive affect on our community and on commuities all over the world for generations to come. There is terrible pain in her departure, but great joy in seeing her legacy and picturing her in her heavenly mansion.
My cousin had a beautiful soul and a loving heart, Will miss her.

I’m grateful that Karen has left a bit of Jesus behind for all of us who were touched by her in one way or another. I’m glad she’s healed and love and prayers to the Williams and Dodd families.
