She was born and raised in the Lebanon, Missouri area, and graduated from Lebanon High School in the Class of 1960. After she and Paul were married, they made their home in Lebanon, and lovingly raised their sons. Karin was a devoted homemaker to her husband and family, and also worked as the director of the Lebanon Housing Authority for a number of years.
In her spare time she enjoyed bowling and traveling. Her family was very dear to her and she especially enjoyed her grandchildren.
Karin was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and know that she will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by all those who knew and loved her.
