Karen Poling, 78, passed away peacefully on October 24, 2025.  She was born February 4, 1947 to Carl and Esther Webb and grew up in Lakemore, Ohio. She worked as a payroll specialist in social services. Karen was proud to have been a member of AA for 37 years and was happily married to Robert for more than 40 years.

Karen's happiest moments were on the back of a motorcycle and she was proud to have ridden with the Hell's Angels back in the day.  She was always the life of the party and could bring a smile to everyone she met.

Karen is preceded in death by her parents Carl and Esther (Bozo) Webb; brothers Wyatt and Caro, Jr. (Lois); sister Frances; husband Robert; and son Charles Poling. She is survived by children Katherine "Sis" (Craig) Beste, Paul "Igor" Poling, Paul Harnack, David Rothenstein, Larry Harvey and Marci Minich; grandchildren Autumn (Todd), Conner (Nicole); great grandchildren Raylynn, Rylee, Kalianny and Kaiden.
