Karen Doetker
Karen Louise (Lucas) Doetker was born July 2, 1955, to Kenneth and Tillie (Sinka) Lucas in Lamar, Colorado, the third of five children. She passed away January 13, 2023, with family by her side.

Over the years, Karen worked as an aide in the Wauneta school library, a CNA at the Heritage of Wauneta and numerous positions at Wal-Mart in both McCook and North Platte. She shared her joy of 4-H with her daughters, teaching them to sew and ripping out many a seam. Karen enjoyed her grandchildren the most and loved seeing them every chance she got.
Karen was preceded in death by her father, Kenneth; husband, Loren; and infant daughter, Christina.
