Kaaren H Brennan Boutin, age 73, died on 10/5/19. She was raised and educated in Cleveland Ohio then attended Marquette University’s College of Journalism. She was a member of the Theta Sigma Phi honorary sorority for women in communications. She had a lifelong over-fondness for the printed word. She was known to read at times 3 to 5 books simultaneously. Kaaren’s no fail formula for stress reduction was a docile cat, a little Bach in the background and the Sunday New York Times. Kaaren is survived by her son Jesse (friend Cathy Hauser) of Holmen, Wisconsin. Her grandchildren Connor, Courtney, Justin, and Morgan; her “eternal fiancé” Edson Blumer and her dear friends Patti Waldecker, Sharon Brown and Sue Kurey. Her parents John and Sally Brennan; her brother, John T Brennan, and Kaaren’s former husband John H Boutin preceded her in death.
At Kaaren’s request there will be no visitation. Memorial service will be held in the spring.
