So sad to hear of Karla’s passing. She was a great friend in high school and 4-H for many years. I remember doing more visiting than studying in Study Hall. Karla was an amazing friend to many and a great mentor to many kids. Will truly miss her laughter and smile.

Steve, Kyle, Kent, and Stacey,
I enjoyed working with your Mom for the three years I worked at West Minico. She always made me laugh in our conversations. She loved to talk about her children and I enjoyed hearing stories about each of you. She was an excellent teacher, was good for kids, and her impact on our community and our students will be timeless. I am so proud of her accomplishments. Shelley an I are sorry for your loss.

From Aaron Kloepfer:
I first met Karla(Mrs. Target) at church activities, which she was pleasant to be around. At school she would sub for some of my classes and she always friendly and kind to me. I hate to admit but sometimes she had to keep Curtis Timmons and I in line, but she approached it in a very humorous way. I enjoyed when she was our sub. As I became friends with Stacy, Karla(Mrs. Target) would drive us to the movies or shindigs with friends. She was a character and kept things fun lively. Most recently I spoke in her ward and we chatted after sacrament meeting about Stacy and Steve being called as a Bishop. She asked me about my family and personal life. I walked away from that conversation feeling very uplifted. She will be missed, our thoughts and prayers will be with your family.

I wasn't well-acqainted with Karla, however, there is a bond between us. Her son, Kent, is my son-in-law.
I am dang proud to call him my son. My daughter & grand-babies are adored by him.

May your soul rest in peace, Karla.
