The Karen R. Larson Memorial Scholarship
Karen R. Larson earned her degree in Elementary Education (K-8), with a minor in Music. She attended college on a partial scholarship in music performance. She spent the early part of her career as a youth minister. After taking a few years to be home with her children, she spent four years teaching middle school mathematics. Despite battling stage 4 cancer while teaching, she remained committed to caring for her family and her students, she rarely missed a day of work.
Karen came from a long line of educators, and she valued education intensely. She loved her students and felt that only through education could they rise above, no matter their individual circumstances, and she tried to instill that in each student. Karen was a true free spirit, always ready for an adventure but remained grounded. She was a classically trained pianist and an accomplished vocalist. She loved sewing and crafts, and she was a great homemaker. She taught Sunday school until a few days before her death. Above all, her children (who attend Baylor) and husband were the loves of her life.
