Many family and friends in the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) know Pastor Newton Trimmer and his wife of 41 years, Karen Ashley Trimmer, who also faithfully served her Lord and Savior. She was just recently diagnosed with lung cancer, bone cancer and brain cancer. Sunday, Oct 9, the Lord gently and quietly called himself the soul of Karen Ruth Ashley.

Because insurance does not cover all the costs related to medical bills, we ask friends and colleagues to consider donating to this campaign to help cover the uninsured bills and funeral expenses. While we were shocked and saddened to learn about Karen's prognosis and will miss her dearly, we share in the joy as believers of Jesus Christ that she is with our Savior for eternity.

Karen Ashley Trimmer will be remembered as a caring, passionate, and dedicated mother, wife, grandmother, friend and faithful servant of Christ. Please consider donating and sharing your favorite memory, story and what you will remember most about Karen as you share the link.
