Karen was a teacher for HeadStart in Danville for 32 years. If there was one thing that Karen enjoyed the most, it was finding a good deal. She loved taking trips to Champaign to her favorite thrift stores such as The Salvation Army and Goodwill. When she wasnt out thrifting, she was most content staying at home and spending time with her family.

Per Karens wishes, cremation rites have been accorded. A private graveside committal will be held at a later date at Sunset Memorial Park. Sunset Funeral Home and Cremation Center 3940 N Vermilion St. Danville, IL., 61834 is assisting the family with arrangements.
