Karen Lee Lovro

Karen Lee Lovro, our beautiful mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, passed away after a brief illness on September 2, 2021 at Dougherty Hospice House in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, at the age of 66.
She grew up in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and graduated from Lincoln High School. She then attended the University of South Dakota in Vermillion, South Dakota.
Karen married Craig Lovro and they made their home in Yankton, South Dakota, before moving back to Sioux Falls. In addition to being a loving homemaker and mother, Karen worked at various administrative jobs and eventually retiring from A-OK Sanitary Service.
Her interests included golf, tennis, trips to the lake and Arizona, and ball games, to list a few, but her life was centered around her 6 cherished grandchildren, family and lifelong friends. Her smile, humor and laugh never left her.
