August 16, 1961 - June 25, 2019
Our beloved, beautiful, creative and funny Karen was taken from us suddenly this June. Karen brought incredible strength and joy to all that she touched. She was the light in her family where she grew up the daughter of Dick and Barb Winston, sister to Rick, Todd and Randy. She took great pride in raising her daughter Della Wilson and was uplifted by the love of her life Paul Wilson.
Our hearts are broken for the tomorrows we don't get to share so we want to celebrate the yesterdays that Karen would want us to savor. That is the gift we will cherish most. We hope to do some greater good in her honor.
Lupus facts:

- While lupus mainly affects women between the ages of 15-44, men and children are not spared.
- Lupus symptoms can be severe and highly unpredictable and can damage any organ or tissue, from the skin or joints to the heart or kidneys.
- Only one drug has ever been developed and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration specifically to treat lupus.
