Life
In high school you knew me as Karen Rhodes or (little bit). I was married to and divorced Roger Turley.
I married Neil Petersen in 1983. We were married for 20 years. He passed away from a heart attack on November 19,2003.We moved to San Jose CA in 1984 and lived, played and worked there untill FEB of 2005. We have raised 4 children and now have 7 Grandchildren. All live in California. When we moved to San Jose I became very active in Pop Worner Football, as the Cheerleading Activity Director. Served on the Regioal board as well as the local board. Because I love to sew I was able to make my oldest daughters Wedding Gown. She drew me a picture when she was about 8 yrs old and asked me to make it when she grew up, it had changed very little over the years.
I still love to sew and crochet and sometimes knit.
