Karen CORDES Obituary

Age 84 of Hastings, MN Beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, and friend.Passed from this life to the next on December 31st, 2023. Mom, you have been gone only a short while, yet it seems like years. You are deeply missed; however, we are comforted knowing that you are on a new journey and at peace with our Lord and Savior. You now dwell in the heavens alongside your husband of 63 years, your daughter Jody Lynn, son Kenneth Jay, and other loved ones. There is no more pain, sadness, or sorrow. The poem you so loved, "Footprints in the Sand," has come to pass. Jesus will now carry you in his loving arms for eternity. For so long you were such an integral part of our lives, and in that time you gave so much of yourself to make life better for us. Your grace, tenacity, and the love you had for our family was the glue that bound us together. The smile, hug, laughter, caring, and kindness, which was so much a part of you, will live on with us forever. It is with much love and gratitude; we look forward to the day that we are reunited. Memorial Service 12PM, Saturday, February 3rd, at Kandt Tetrick Funeral Home, 140 8th Ave. N. in South St. Paul. Visitation one hour prior and luncheon to follow at Kandt Tetrick Funeral Home.
