Karen Winnermark, 65, of Kouts, went to be with the Lord the morning of November 25, 2021. It is especially fitting that she made this beautiful transition on Thanksgiving, a day recognized for being thankful. Being a spiritual counselor herself, Karen would have been particularly grateful for being able to spend such a first day in God’s presence.
She is survived by her siblings; John Gembala and Cyndi Gembala, niece; Candace VanHoogen and half sister; Linda Ashley.
Karen was very close to her church family at Bethel Church of Valparaiso, led by Pastor Jason Hale.
A memorial service for Karen will be held January 15th at a to-be-announced time, at Bethel Church of Valparaiso; 1155 S. Sturdy Rd., Valparaiso, IN 46385.
