Karen Erickson

We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Gunderson Funeral Home - Madison

Karen caught up with me after, oh maybe 40 years after graduation from MG. She was my kitty-corner neighbor. She contacted me and we met at her house after her husband passed. At her request we went a Social Security/Medicare learning group together at Buck and Honeys. So many years had passed, but we still had bonds. I miss you, Karen.

I miss Karen. She always made my day better. Every. Single. Day. I remember our conversations. Silly conversations. Serious conversations. I remember we always looked after one another. She would know if I was having a rough day and just ask if she could just give me a hug. She made sure everyone was taken care of. Many times she would go out of her way to make sure. Some people come into our lives as blessings. Karen was undoubtedly one of those people. She was more than "the lunch lady." She was family. Once OFS, always OFS. I miss you, Karen.

Karen was a friend for many years and it seems impossible that she is gone. She was a wonderful caring supportive friend. When I moved out of Wisconsin we didnt spesk or see each other too often but it was always so wonderful to catch up. You will be missed dear friend.

Karen and I kept in touch after leaving Tellurian. She was a loyal soldier, always kind to the staff and clients. She was lost without her Paul, it seemed. And when she shared her destiny, I understood and wished her well on what I knew would be difficult path. Rest in peace, dear friend, and go find your Paul.
