Karen was a wonderful person. I worked with her at the Hyde Park Kroger. She always had a big smile on her face and she would always help others. I will miss her dearly. She was a great friend.

Karen was a very sweet person to work with

I worked with Karen for over 35 years at the Hyde Park Kroger.

Karen was the one person who everyday made a difference in someone´s life working with her was an out right pleasure she brought a different level of atmosphere into the store.

The Hyde Park Kroger store was a fast paced high volume store and the lines were long at the office and at checkout Karen´s laughter and her welcoming smile her kindness was genuine and everybody knew it.

I could write a book about all the kind and good things she did everyday and with Karen it was just natural.

I have seen Karen pay for customers purchase, Karen has given workers and customers a ride home, Karen would drop off groceries to some older customers, a few times she would intervene in situations that happened in the store and asked me if I would reconsider the way we usually handle these situations and if Karen came up stairs and talk on your behalf I knew there was circumstances that she knew about a person and she felt strongly about. I was one of the unlucky customers that banked with Home State Savings Bank all of my money was lost when they became insolvent, Karen went down to the Kemba Credit Union and borrowed $300.00 and gave me the money and told me use it for my daughter´s her kindness actually made a change in the way I would live my life and I became a better man because of her kindness.

When I managed to cross the finish and retire I went to see her at the Harrison store and we had a few beers and talked about old times and the future and how many people we have lost on our journey.

When we were younger we not only worked together as a group, we would go out as a group.

Karen was always so energized and vibrant and I will always remember her that way and she was very proud of her family and their service to the community.
