Karen was born the daughter of Howard and Mae Rose (Wheeler) Pusch on December 9, 1947, in Hustisford, Wisconsin. She was a graduate of Hartford Union High School.
Karen was united to Ronald Dahm on November 19, 1966, at St. John’s Ev. Lutheran Church in Woodland.
Karen was a faithful and active member of St. John’s Ev. Lutheran Church in Woodland. She was a member of the Ladie’s Aid and held various leadership positions with the group over the years. Karen worked for many years as one of the secretaries of Horicon High School, where she got to know many families over the years. She left an impression on everyone she met, and even years later, those families would enjoy catching up with her.
Karen took great pride in caring for and tending to her flowers throughout the summer months. She was active in her community and cherished time spent with her beloved Woodland Gang. Karen and Ron shared many wonderful years in Florida at The Villages, where they created countless fond memories together. She also found joy in bowling, golfing, traveling, and joining Ron for rides on the back of his Goldwing motorcycle.
Above all, Karen adored her family. She loved attending her grandchildren’s sporting activities and never missed a game. She was also known for her Christmas Village that she would set up and decorate each year.
Karen is survived by her loving husband Ron; her daughters: Brenda (Paul) Lehman, Gina (Neil) Schoenherr, and Carla (Glenn) Koerner; her grandchildren: Dustin (Jody) Dahm, Holly Schoenherr, and Jack Schoenherr; great-grandchildren: Justyce and Syris; her sister June Lindloff; her niece Erica Fairbrother; and her loving dog Wilbur. Karen will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by other relatives and friends.
Karen was preceded in death by her parents; her father and mother-in-law Rubin and Erna Dahm; and her brothers-in-law Roger Lindloff and Ralph Dahm.
