Karen was a passionate, wise, and inspiring leader who was deeply dedicated to bettering her community. She served on our board for more than a decade, including two years as board chair. Her passion for the environment also extended beyond the boardroom.
She loved hiking, paddling, skiing, and biking, always embracing outdoor recreation in Wisconsin’s natural environment. She gave back to her community in countless ways, including as a stream monitor for the Rock River Coalition and as a yoga and mindfulness teacher.
Karen’s dedication, warm spirit, and leadership touched everyone who knew her. We are immensely grateful for the many years she devoted to guiding and advising us. Her enduring legacy will continue to inspire our work and mission at Clean Wisconsin.
Our condolences go out to her family, friends and those close to her. We are so fortunate to have had her as a leader, champion and friend.
