Karen has been Auditor of Scott County since 1977, one of the longest
serving female elected officials in the state of Iowa. She served the county
for over thirty-two years and was admired for her dedication to her job, as
well as to her employees who serve the citizens of Scott County.

"Karen never met a stranger, she was known for her beaming smile, twinkling
eyes, and her ever-ready hug. She exuded a natural charm and was a mother
figure to many over the years. Karen always treated you as an equal no
matter your station or status in life".
*Thanks for all you do.*
