Karen’s family stopped in the library today. They left a beautiful bouquet in honor of Karen at the Circ desk . And they expressed their appreciation and gratitude for all the staff did for Karen on Thursday and throughout her tenure here.
They said she enjoyed coming to work at the library and was really in her niche: Karen loved reading, BBC shows, music, NPR and current topics. It gave them great comfort to know that she was here, at a place she loved, when she suffered the heart attack.
Per Karen’s wishes, there will be no service. An obituary will appear in the Newton Daily News. The family is requesting that memorials be directed to NPR and the Johnston Public Library.
