She grew up on the family farm established by her grandfather, Norbert Vavra. She attended a one room schoolhouse known as Blackstone Grade School and graduated from Bluff City High School in 1964. She furthered her education at the Wichita Business College. On September 16, 1967, she was united in marriage with Ronnie Joseph Schmidt in Wichita, Kansas. They lived a short time in Wichita before moving to Ronnie's hometown of Pfeifer, Kansas. The couple were blessed with 2 sons, Nathan and Preston. The family moved to Argonia, Kansas in 1986 where they lived for several years before moving to the farm, northwest of Norwich, Kansas. Ronnie passed away on February 17, 2019. Karen retired from Southwestern Bell/AT&T, where she worked for many years as a utility dispatcher and customer service representative. A true diamond in the rough, Karen had a heart of gold, sometimes expressing it in very colorful ways. She never backed away from bargain shopping, garage sales being her favorite, always buying for everyone other than herself. She donated many items to the homeless and was known to randomly stop by when no one was home to leave a special gift for someone. She and Ronnie made a great team growing a bountiful garden, canning, making wine, and butchering deer, hogs, and chickens. She was always excited to get the camper ready for a weekend trip of fun and fishing with her boys. She also had a talent of knowing the news before the newspaper printed it! Shortly after Ronnie's passing, Karen became a resident of Spring View Manor in Conway Springs, Kansas. This is where she passed away shortly after midnight on February 26, 2022 at the age of 75. She is preceded in death by her parents and husband.
