Karen A. Mulry

Karen A. Mulry (Reynebeau), age 84, of Little Chute, went unto her heavenly home to be with her husband Jim on October 9, 2024. She was the daughter of Jack and Vi Reynebeau, born August 11, 1940. Karen married Jim Mulry on October 27, 1960 at St. Johns in Little Chute. She graduated from St. John High School with the class of 1958.

Karen worked at the family business, Reynebeau Floral, for 45 years, and there never was a day she didn’t want to go to work. When the kids started coming they also went to work. They started in the play pen, when they could walk they were in the ground pile.

Karen and Jim enjoyed retirement to the fullest. She was the flower girl at St. Johns, taking care of the plants for many years. She loved working funeral dinners and cleaning the church. Karen was always busy with the garden club, taking care of the planters in town. She worked the elections as a poll worker for many years. Most of all, Karen loved her family, and she never missed activities the kids or grandchildren participated in.
