KAREN RUTH (FROEHLICH) MCCARVER
October 2, 1954 March 18, 2019
Karen Ruth Froehlich McCarver, 64, of Colorado Springs passed away March 18, 2019 as a result of a long battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Karen's life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by her understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. Although at the end she was so small and frail, her tenacity and sheer will reminded us of the preciousness of life.
Karen was born to Margaret and Marion Froehlich in Houston, TX. Karen met and married Tom McCarver and over their 33-year marriage, Karen and Tom made homes in Houston, TX and Colorado Springs, CO. Karen is survived by her devoted husband, Tom; her brothers Phillip Froehlich (Joellen) of San Antonio, TX and Scott Froehlich (Monica) of Lakewood, CO; nephews Travis Froehlich of Colorado Springs, CO and Andrew Froehlich of Denver, CO; and many loving cousins, an aunt and uncle, and a host of friends. She was preceded in death by her mother and father. She will be greatly missed by those she loved and those who loved her.
A memorial service will be held at 11:00 AM on Friday, March 29 in the chapel at First United Methodist Church in Colorado Springs, CO. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider donations to the Rocky Mountain Multiple Sclerosis Center.
