  3. I met Karen at the RH Country Club back in the late 80’s and found we had a passion in common, sailing. She invited me to join her on their boat to learn to sail with the First Mates. I sailed in my first regatta with her and we placed second. Our picture made the front page of the Sunday sports section which was unusual for women’s sailing. Because of her, I am still sailing and competing today 20 years later. Sometimes we don’t know how much we have touched others in our lifetime. I am sure Karen touched many lives along her journey. I extend my sincere sympathy to her family in this time of sorrow and loss. Judi Foote

  4. We were so sorry to read of Karen’s passing. We knew her at the Country Club and played golf with her and Larry at Sim Golf Park with the couples group. She was such a bright spot in all things she took part in. Karen will be missed. Thoughts and Prayers
