I didn't know Karen until after highschool. I met her in our late 20s when my husband played on a softball team along with her future husband John. I worked most of my career with John at OU. Good people! Karen was a funny woman with a backbone of steel. She loved her family!

Karen and I didn't live far apart growing up until around age 10 when we moved out East of town. We were friends through Central and NHS. Wonderful gal.
