She enjoyed traveling, collecting antiques, doing artwork and spending her spare time with family and friends. Karen is survived by her two sisters: Sharon S. Lindberg and Sue A. Ropson , and a half-brother Kevin Thyrion.

Karen was blessed with two daughters; April M. Thyrion and Casey L. (Nichols) Judkins. Six grandchildren; Dakota, Nathan, Alex, Eayden, Derrick, and Jen. She came from a big family and enjoyed growing up with many loving aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and had several close friends throughout the Green Bay area.
