Karyn Sue Konetzka, 61, Hope
By Myers-Reed Chapel-
Born in Columbus on June 6, 1954, Karyn was the daughter of Eva Jean (McDonald) Guthrie. She married Kevin Konetzka on Sept. 16, 1978 at Wintermark in Brown County and he survives. She raised three children and one husband. Karyn loved her family, especially her children and grandchildren. She loved to read anytime, anywhere. Karyn enjoyed and appreciated antiques having worked for the Greensburg Antique Mall, the Columbus Antique Mall and the Exit 76 Antique Mall. She had been very active for over 20 years with the Columbus Scottish Festival Committee holding many offices and providing guidance to many others. Karyn worked as a hostess for Cliff Hagen's she also enjoyed her various art projects, her flower garden, her hummingbirds, and the beginning her faerie garden.
Karyn is survived by her husband, Kevin Konetzka of Hope; her children, Ayrwen Repp of Columbus, Lorien Konetzka of Brown County and Dane (Leah) Konetzka of Columbus; sisters, Cathi (Jeff) Guthrie Richardson of Michigan and Debbie Taylor of Columbus; grandchildren, Raelyn, Jaedon, Riley, Alton, Jackson, Aiden, Tatum and Addlynn. She was preceded in death by her mother.
Karyn was an amazing woman, wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend. Even as she was struggling with life she still was trying to take care of others. We may have lost a mother and best friend but we have gained an amazing guardian angel. So watch your pennies and butterflies.
In keeping with Karyn's wishes, cremation is planned. There will be a celebration of her life for the family and friends at her home on Aug. 8th, from 4 to 8 p.m.
