personally. When we see her on campus, she asks how we’re doing and often offers a comforting hug. During Bob’s hospitalization, she even made us a big bowl of Italian wedding soup, showing her caring nature. Kari’s energy extends beyond her work duties. She leads a creative card-making club with five of us ladies once a month, and we truly appreciate the time and skills she shares with us. Whether it’s maintaining our residence or contributing to our well-being, Kari is always there with a smile and a helping hand.” – Passavant resident Eileen Keelan, Social Worker; Anna Driggers, LPN; and Dawna Toth, RN,

Maintenance.’ Kari’s knowledge of the Passavant campus is unmatched, and her expertise comes from years of hands-on experience and on-the-job training.

In addition to her role in maintenance, Kari goes above and beyond to connect with the residents. She’s friendly and bright, always taking the time to get to know us
