Obituary

Karen Jean Lorenz (Woodstock, IL)

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Karen Lorenz (née Eisch), beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, on November 18th, 2024. Karen, aged 87, passed peacefully.

Born on March 4th, 1937, in Appleton, WI, Karen was the daughter of Gregory and Marie Eisch. She graduated from Appleton West High school, and went on to build a beautiful life with her husband, Don, with whom she shared 47 years of marriage. Together they shared a fondness for the beauty of the Northwoods, fishing, boating and family gatherings on their special island “ Bali Hai “ in Waupaca Wisconsin.

Karen’s legacy is one of unwavering strength, kindness, and grace. She leaves behind a family who will continue to carry her memory in their hearts every day. She is proceeded in death by her husband Don and brother Kim. She is survived by her three sons, Steve (Nanette) Lorenz, David (Kim) Lorenz, Michael (Jean) Lorenz; siblings, Kay (William) Garvey, Kurt Eisch; and grandchildren, Nicolas Lorenz, Kiley (Stephen) Orehosky, Noelle Lorenz, Matthew Lorenz; great granddaughter Ellie, and neice Anne Garvey (Dustin) Reichard, nephew Keith Garvey, Andy (Megan) Eisch, David (Jenny Lynn) Eisch , and many great neices and nephews.

A celebration of life is planned for next summer in Waupaca to celebrate both Karen and Don’s lives.
