Proud Grandmother of Jack and Ella Mikolajczak and Adeline and Eleanor Speth. Survived by Mother Beatrice Alexander, Father and Mother in-law Roy and Rita Speth, siblings Nancy (Scott) Berg, Ron Alexander (Marcella Kalbec), Steve (Diane) Alexander, sister-in-law Sue Alexander, brother-in-law Roy Speth. Further survived by many nieces and nephews.

I am so very sorry to hear about Karen. She was my biggest cheerleader in my first job in the corporate world and was always so kind.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Karen at Kohls and she was just the sweetest person! She always had a smile on her face and had a personality of positivity and kindness. Please know how many people were blessed to have know Karen at Kohls and have her part of their "work" family!

My deepest condolences to the Speth family. Karen was my coworker at Kohl's for nearly 12 years and her laughter was always so contagious. She brought a special happiness to her teams at Kohl's and was a great friend when you needed one. She always cared about what was going on in others' lives and she was so easy to talk to. She was also always willing to play along with some of our silly office antics and she had so many friends there. I left Koh's before she did, but we stayed connected on Facebook. Her passing saddened me deeply. May she rest in peace.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

We were so sorry and shocked to read of Karen’s passing. Our prayers to all her family especially Bea. Karen and Bea were our church pew mates early on when we started attending St Luke Brookfield. We will add her to our prayers and light a candle weekly at St Patrick’s Malvern PA, for her soul which is surely heaven bound. Such a dear woman.
