Karen J “Kasey” Wold, 73, Lawrence, KS.
Kasey was born on April 10th, 1951, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the daughter of Paul R. and Mildred (McMullen) Wold. She died December 18, 2024, in Overland Park where she had lived for the past 10 years.
Kasey graduated from Topeka West High School and attended Emporia State University. She moved to Lawrence, KS and was active in the community for most of her adult life. She was an accomplished singer and songwriter. She always considered Lawrence her true home.
Kasey had so many wonderful friends and family. It is impossible to describe the number of lives that she touched in such a positive way. Her personality was bigger than life. To know her was to love her.
Survivors include her brother, Nick Wold and many other family members.
She was proceeded in death by her parents Paul and Bobbi Wold, her brothers Greg and Kevin and her sisters Shawn and Mary Jane.
Kasey will be buried at Mt. Hope Cemetery in Watertown, South Dakota at a later date. A celebration of life will also be planned with the time to be announced.
Our sincere condolences to Kasey’s family and friends. We knew Kasey years ago from Quantrill’s Flea Market. She was always pleasant and we enjoyed her company. I remember a struggle with an upright piano that she resolved with aplomb. We’re sorry she’s gone.
Kasey’s friends will remember her smile and laugh. The effort and care she put into estate sales and as an auctioneer. I still have a recliner that she somehow convinced me to bid on at the humane society auction ( it’s a great chair!) and a painting she sold at an Art Center auction. There is a picture of an angel on my dresser that she loved to give away with a story about how special it was . Kasey had character and style. And a beautiful voice. I was lucky enough to have met her and call her friend. I see her finally at peace and reunited with her family.
