Karen retired from ITT Aerospace Corp. in February 2010, after 17 years of service. She cherished spending time with her family and friends. She loved to have fun and was the ultimate social butterfly. She was easy to talk to and took pleasure in starting a conversation with everyone she met. Karen enjoyed bowling (playing in both women and mixed leagues for several years), square dancing, camping, and racing (even driving a car for a short time). She also liked spending time at the lake, taking cruises, and traveling around the US.

Karen will be forever remembered by her four children, Monty (Lynne) Adamson, James (Shari) Adamson, Scott (Jenn) Adamson, and Cynthia Adamson; 10 grandchildren; 11 great grandchildren (and one on the way); two cousins, one niece, and two nephews.

In addition to her parents and husband, Bob, Karen was preceded in death by her step-father, Elmer Klein, and step-brother, Lamont Klein.
