It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved Karen Stransky Griffin at Northwestern Hospital, Chicago, on July 14, 2024 with her loving husband at her side. Although she was a courageous fighter of all her chronic illnesses for many years, this was a sudden passing.

Karen devoted her life to her family and making memories with her family and friends.  She loved music.  Karen was an amazing homemaker and enjoyed cooking, camping, motorcycle riding, and vacationing in The Smokey Mountains. Karen was the owner of K & L Supply, Inc. and a member of The Women of the Moose 935.
