I met Karen while working at Rosenbluth. She was kind & willing to help others when needed. My fond memory of Karen is she loaned me a pair of gloves with fingertips off due to Office was so cold I could barely type…she usually had 1-2 in her drawers besides the ones she was wearing. Keeping her family & friends in my thoughts & prayers.

I was saddened to see Karen had passed away. I worked with her during the “Rosenbluth years”. She was a very conscientious and hard working person. Although it has been quite a few years I still remember her cheerful greetings in the morning. May her family find peace during painful time.
My condolences to Karen’s family. Karen was a good friend to me for the years we sat together at work. Karen looked for the best in others and treated everyone the way she would have wanted to be treated. I enjoyed our daily chats and hearing stories about foster siblings and trips to Branson, MO to deliver stashes of collected discount school supplies and creative bulletin board ideas and visit friends. She was a helpful, kind and wonderful person and she will be missed.

My deepest sympathy and thoughts to Karen’s family. Karen was a quiet gentle soul who loved her family very much. She always had stories to tell of their trips to Bronson. The garden and her dads tomatoes and many other things they enjoyed together. Not to mention her memories of time past in Fargo and growing up. She was quick Witted and always had a quip or comment that would make you laugh. Her knowledge of the travel industry and work was great and she was always willing to help you. She was so attentive to the clients and did a thorough job. Our thought are with you, may your memories always keep you and bring a smile. Karen is greatly missed.

miss Karen..Karen and I never met face to face but worked every morning together she was comfort and like some one else said a quiet sole. I will miss her good morning every day, her clients and coworkers will miss her very much. My prayers to her family…
My sincere sympathy to Karen’s family. I have worked with Karen for almost 21 years and there was never a day that you saw Karen get upset — always that smile on her face. She was my go to person when I was stumped on a format, a fare rule or just general questions. She always would have the answer or knew where to look for it. For quite a few years, we also had lunch together, so had time to talk about other things than work such as our families, traveling, hobbies, TV shows, etc. Karen and Jackie always remembered when rhubarb or tomatoes came in season and would call and bring some over. We greatly appreciated it. I also like to knit and crochet and Karen always was able to answer my questions especially with crocheting as I am not as good as she is. I will greatly miss her. My prayers and thoughts are with the entire Krause family during this painful and difficult time.
Karen and I worked together at Rosenbluth for many years. She was proud of her perfect attendance she had for multiple years in a row. She really loved her job and it showed in her work. She made an excellent quality control agent. I enjoyed her Branson stories and could appreciate her love of Donny and Marie! I have thought of her multiple times over the years and regret I didn’t make contact with her. She will be missed. My sincere sympathy to her family.
I worked with Karen at Serco. She talked often about growing up and how simple things were back then. For instance she would say you knew when mom wanted you home because the porch light was flashing. She always looked forward to October when she would travel to Branson, MO to see her teacher friend and to get the time to spend with her sister. She would joke that she had to be in control of the driving because she didnt do good as a passenger. There was one year around christmas Karen taught me how to make these beautiful snow flakes for our office. I am honored to have had the opportunity to have met her. She will be missed. I send my condolences to her family.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Karen’s family. While we worked at Serco we were never on the same accounts. Every morning Karen and I would meet getting our water filled and me making coffee in the break room before starting our day. She always had kinds words and always told me to have a good day. Monday morning it just didn’t feel the same to the start of my day with out Karen. She will be missed by many. BJ

People asked me to post my Facebook status about Karen to the Boulger guestbook so here it is:
My family all knows the amazing person that Karen was, she was always smiling and in my life I never saw her in a bad mood. Everyone knows that I took the path of computers for my career and hobby, but the thing many don’t know is that my 2nd cousin (my mom’s first cousin) Karen was the first person to introduce me to a computer back in the 80’s. I remember her telling me many times over the years about how I just lit up while she was explaining how to use that machine. I don’t even remember what OS it was running but if I had to guess it was MS Dos. I have currently been a computer/web programmer for the last 15 years of my life, and in reality I own that all to Karen! RIP Karen, you passed way to young!
Sorry to hear about your loss our greatest sympathy to your family during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family
