Karen Kenworthy RIP

[Dormouse]

I was very sad to hear of the death of Karen Kenworthy (KarenWare.com) earlier this month.

I was wondering why none of her programs had been updated for a while.  May she rest peace!

Here is the Obituary

I used a few of her programs back in the day. They worked and that alone is a great compliment!

Sad news. I learned about it today in a mail from her brother.

Dear Friends, I suspect that many of you have noticed that the last issue of Karen's Power Tools Newsletter was dated March 17, 2010, and you may have been anxiously awaiting another. It is with great sadness that I write to tell you of Karen's death on April 12, 2011, after a long struggle with several debilitations, including diabetes. I know that Karen touched many of you with her kindness, wit, creativity and encouragement. She was a loving daughter, sister, aunt and friend. And she was a pretty darned good programmer, too. We are deeply grieving her loss. For now, Karen's server is still running, the programs she has written can still be downloaded, and donations can still be made through the website. We are also working to fill all CD orders that have been submitted or mailed.

It is difficult to make business decisions while grieving. So, at this point, I cannot say what will be the future of KarenWare.com, except to say that we will certainly continue Karen's commitment to safeguard your privacy as shown at the Privacy link of KarenWare.com. Many of you have already written many kinds words of condolence and comfort. Please know that we greatly appreciate you. If you care to make a contribution in her honor, she was a long-time supporter of The Dohnavur Fellowship, a special children's ministry in southern India. You can learn more about them at www.DohnavurFellowship.org.

All we ask is that you remember her whenever you take the case off of your computer, contemplate removing entries from your Windows Registry, listen to Bob Wills or Riders in the Sky, or wave and say 'Hi!' to anyone on the 'net. May God richly bless you, as He has all those who knew Karen. Bill Kenworthy Karen's brother

I still have her Directory Printer; "it works".

I just received the letter from her brother too - very sad day.

[cyberdiva]

Yes, I too received the letter that her brother sent out.  I was stunned and saddened.

Sad news to hear. Karen was a talented programmer and a nice person who will be missed.

News of her passing is a shock and a shame.  I enjoyed her programs immensely and she seemed to have a caring personality.  We need more Karen's in this world.
