Karen you will truly be missed. She was a wonderful loving woman who always cared about everyone else. Karen was devoted to her children and her grandchildren. The thing I will miss most, is her laugh and the phase “Judas Priest”when she got frustrated. She had her own view about things. We have lots of loving and funny memories of her during the holidays and when the family got together. Karen would always be the one to make you laugh or start talking about things that no one else wanted to bring up or discuss, she could always get you going. She would also be the one who would come and comfort you when you were down and had words of wisdom to make you feel better. There were many nights that we all sat on our back porch and just discuss life. Karen loved to have debates on any topic. She loved a good conversation. While our hearts are heavy now, we know you will always be there to guide the way. Give Shane and my dad a hug for us. Love ya! Shellie and Linda.

As I read this with a heavy heart I remember past Christmas s that our families spent together. She was always good to me. Her laugh was like no other. I also remember that she could make some dynamite egg rolls. My prayers are with the Ackerman family.

Loved working with your mom we became dear friends and some how we lost touch when the place closed and than I saw you Shelley at Walmart and the years went by. I’m so sorry for your loss I have such wonderful memories of your mom she was a wonderful woman kindhearted and just a great person. Rest in Peace Karen,I will never forget your kindness towards me, LOVE yolanda
