She was a former employee of Home Depot in Mattoon and Hardware Supply in Charleston - but for fifteen years it was the warm and smiling face of Karen who greeted you and took your order at Jerry's Pizza. Her interests included yearly antiquing trips with Carol and Deb, traveling, crocheting and cooking. Being out-of-doors suited Karen best - she was an avid mushroom hunter but a passionate fisherman. She enjoyed the friendship of many and those fortunate enough to know this wonderful wife, mother, daughter, sister and aunt, knew Karen was happiest when she was caring for and sharing time with her family. Karen's family requests that Memorials in her honor be made to the American Cancer Society. Gifts may be left on the Memorial Table at the Visitation or Services or mailed to Adams Funeral Chapel, 2330 Shawnee Drive, Charleston, IL 61920.
