Karen M. Blaeser

Karen M. Blaeser, 65 of Fall Creek, formerly of Chippewa Falls, died peacefully under the care of Mayo Home, Health & Hospice, on Saturday, September 7, 2024.

To know her was to love her. Karen was the light of everyone’s life. She was the definition of a perfect human. She loved with everything she had, she gave with everything she could, she fought with all she had. Karen was the most amazing woman with the purest soul you could meet. Any questions in life, you called Karen. Accomplish anything in life, you call Karen. Something going on in your life you’re not happy about, you call Karen. She was everyone’s safe space, protector, confidant, best friend.

Karen’s sons were the lights of her life. She could not have been more in love and prouder of the two men she raised and the men they became. When Karen became a grandmother, she became the greatest version of herself. Her children and grandchildren were the light of her life, her pride and joy. She was the biggest cheerleader for all of them. There was no doubt that Karen was simply in love with with the family she created. We are all the humans we are because of her. She was the rock that kept the family whole. There will never be a day where something doesn’t remind us of her. Whether it’s a butterfly, a sunset, a song, an elephant. She is with us always.

Karen was a lover of many things. She loved shopping, especially shoe shopping. There was usually not a shopping trip where she wasn’t coming home with a pair of shoes, especially her Sketchers. If she could find them, she was coming home with them. She also loved traveling. Karen would go anywhere. Especially if that meant she got to go on a trip with Danny, her bestie girls Debbie and T, or with her sons, daughters-in-law and grandbabies. She especially loved Las Vegas. The moment she was there you could see the glow in her being in her favorite place.

Karen’s favorite animal was an elephant. If you went anywhere with her and there was something around that’s elephant related, she had to have it. Her house was filled with elephants. “Love is like an elephant’s memory, never forgetting the moments shared, the bonds formed, and the joy felt together”

Karen is survived by her sons, Travis (Carly) Blaeser of Chippewa Falls and Jesse (Jamie) Blaeser of Menomonie; grandchildren, Asher, Jaylyn, Charlie, Taylor, Cole, Sierra, Briana, and Braeden; great-grandchildren, Bentley, Adaleigh, Amelia, and Delainey; significant other, Daniel Frank; sisters, Nancy (Tim) Hanson and Theresa Karker-Hanson; along with many other loving family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Eugene Karker & Darlene Day; and sister, Kathy Lokken.

A visitation will be held on Thursday, October 3, 2024 at the Fill-In Station in Chippewa from 4:00-8:00PM with a prayer service at 5:30PM.
