Karen was a strong advocate for autism and had a shop “Bridles and Britches” in Tumalo, OR, to help raise awareness for autism and naturopathic healing. Most recently she worked for Dr. Bonnie Skakel of Three Sisters Natural Health and she also was a large proponent of essential oils for healing. Karens greatest passion in life was her horses and dressage.
