Karen Louise Lukes, 73, of Prentice, WI, passed away on November 5th, 2024. She was a
devoted mother, always there when needed, offering support, wisdom, and love in abundance.
A cherished member of the Prentice community, Karen’s legacy of kindness, strength, and
perseverance will be remembered by all who knew her.
Karen was known for her incredible work ethic and determination. She loved fishing and
spending time with her family. She was an avid motorcycle enthusiast, often embarking on trips
across the United States. Her adventurous spirit and love for life were evident in everything she
did. Karen also had a passion for cooking and was famous for her delicious biscuits and gravy,
as well as her Chicken Paprikash, which were family favorites. You could often find her
challenging you to a game of marbles or dice, always ready to kick your butt in a game. These
moments will be missed the most.

Jayson and Robbie Hollingsworth; her sister, Theresa Lukes; her brothers, Frank, Chuck, and

Austin Hollingsworth, Jacob Hollingsworth, Hunter Hollingsworth, Autumn Hollingsworth, and
Tabitha Hollingsworth. She also leaves behind three great-grandchildren: Zemiriah Chatley,
Weston Hollingsworth, and Danny Hollingsworth.
