Karen A. Valek, nee Brown, of Colorado Springs, CO, formerly of LaGrange, beloved wife of the late George; loving mother of Shell Christine, Jill; step-mother of Gregg Valek; devoted grandmother of Jenna, Alyssa and George.
I lived across the street from Karen. We spent many hours playing canasta at her picnic table or, when feeling daring, got a jackknife and played "stretch" where you threw it down to stick in the ground to the side of your opponent and they had to move their foot sideways to it. You did this until one of you was stretched too far and fell over. Kind of gave it up after she let one fly and it stuck between my toes thru my shoe😬 lol
