Angels came and carried Karolyn Lee Stalter, of Clarksville, to the arms of her

graduate of Lake Odessa High School. Karolyn was untied in marriage to Gerald 
Stalter on June 7, 1958. Together they raised three children, Jeff, Lori and 
Colleen. Karolyn was employed with Hekman cookie Co of r a short time, and 
watched children in her home for several years. She was a member of the 
Clarksville Bible Redemption Riders Motorcycle Ministries and the lake Odessa 
Historical Society. She was a Sunday School teacher for many years, and 
organized the Lakewood Christmas Basket Project for 25 years. Karolyn and Jerry 
were chosen as the 2007 Grand Marshalls of the Clarksville Ox Roast. Karolyn 
immensely enjoyed spending time with her husband, children, grandchildren and 
great-grandchildren. She also enjoyed traveling, camping, tending her flowers 
and mushrooming. Through Karolyn’s battle with cancer she had numerous 
opportunities to give her testimony of the Lord to others, which she thoroughly 
enjoyed doing.
