Karen was a bright and exceptional student, so much so that she was asked to skip an entire grade and ultimately becoming a graduate of River High School. Furthering her education took a different turn when she met and ultimately married the love of her life Paul (Benny) Hupp on September 6th 1965.  They embarked on many adventures as she accompanied Benny on his travels with the Air Force.  Upon her return Karen worked at her family’s business, Reese’s Sohio Service Station and grocery store for many years while raising her beloved family.  She was a faithful, life long, member of St. Paul’s Church – Trail Run where she was a member of The Ladies Aid.   She was a member of the New Matamoras Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star as well as a member of the  Red Hat Society.  Karen volunteered her time with the Board of Elections and was a proud member of the Republican Party.  She was a wonderful Sunday School teacher and loved helping with Bible School.

She loved spending time with family playing cards, board games, watching movies, and was happiest around her grandchildren where she was known as “Mamoo” and “Gram” and was always attending one of their many activities, as their number one fan.

Karen was preceded in death by her father Chester Reese, mother Katherine Reese, sister Pamela Goldcamp and two great-grandchildren Nora Marjorie Lyons and Baby Lyons.
