Karen enjoyed many activities and was a member of the ACBL (American Contract Bridge League). She was a Life Master. She also belonged to Western Hills Country Club of Cincinnati, and Laurel Oak, and Field Club of Sarasota.

Karen and Alton had a Sprinkle Fund. It was and is their belief that giving should be done quietly without thought of reward or recognition. If you wish to honor their lives and legacy, I ask that you look around you and find a way to give to another quietly, with song in your heart for having the opportunity to bring a smile to the heart of another and a little warmth to their soul when it was least expected.

A Celebration of Life is scheduled at the Western Hills Country Club, 5780 Cleves Warsaw Pike, Cincinnati, Ohio 45238
on April 21, 2022 beginning at 11:00 AM.

In loving memory of Karen, memorial contributions may be made to The Salvation Army, 615 Slaters Lane, PO Box 269, Alexandria, Virginia 22314.
