Karen and Jerry were high school sweethearts and together, led an adventurous life that took them from their hometown of Butler, to Bremerhaven, Germany, Richmond and Columbus, Ind., and, most recently, the Tampa Bay area of Florida.

Karen, an avid reader, theatergoer, cooking enthusiast, and supporter of the performing arts, found a natural fit for her interests in her work at Viewpoint Books of Columbus, Ind., for many years, and previously in her work at other bookstores and as a choreographer for local dance productions. Her true passion, however, was her family, especially her granddaughter, Mona, who will most remember her for her steadfast love and support and for her caring and generous spirit.
