Karen L. Jelinek (Bedward)

So sorry Lyle for your loss may she RIP Colleen and Dennis Munz

My deepest sympathy to the Jelinek family on the passing of Karen. I had the pleasure of knowing Karen for many years as her children attended Glendale Elementary School, just down from their home on Tompkins Drive. From the first day as she dropped off Jimmy, very nervously, to my classroom, she became a parent who I could count on for support and involvement for many years. As Todd and Mike came through my classroom door also, there was Karen smiling and asking what could their family do to make my school year better. She loved her family deeply and all the children whose lives she nurtured at her home daycare. Her quiet manner was appreciated by so many people, especially me. Love and Prayers, Mary Ellen (O’Connor) Bakken

So sorry for you loss, Steve, Becky & family . Miss you and love you. Rosetta (Koch) Hockett

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Jim and his wonderful family. We were blessed to have Karen as our childcare provider when our children were younger. She had such a kind demeanor and they loved being dropped off at her house each day. We never worried about them when they were in her care. Karen went out of her way to accommodate our schedules and we will be forever grateful for her kindness . May her memory be a blessing. With much love and appreciation~ Doug and Pat Rentschler

I shall always remember sharing a smile, friendly greeting and enthusiastic wave as Karen and Jim would walk through the neighborhood or stop over to check on things at their son's house across the street. Her earthly pain and suffering are no more; her spirit is free to return to the "original neighborhood" where her soul will live on forever. With deep sympathy and God's blessings to the entire family, Steve Sheski
