Obituary
Karen Rae (Wehenkel) Mott went to be with her Lord and Savior on August 4, 2017 after complications from a year-long battle with cancer. Karen was born November 26, 1942 to Ranold Archie Wehenkel and Margaret Elvira (Mader) Wehenkel in Orchard, Nebraska. Karen was an active member of Trinity Lutheran Church LCMS in Broken Arrow, OK.
She grew up in Orchard, NE. Her greatest desire was for others to come to know Jesus Christ and have faith in His atoning sacrifice of our sins.
Karen was married to Dennis Lee Mott of Verdigre, NE on May 15, 1965 The couple moved to Missouri Valley, Iowa and Omaha NE where Karen was employed at the Omaha Federal Land Bank. Karen and Dennis then moved to Superior, WI and, in 1974, the couple moved to Stillwater, OK where she was a member of Zion Lutheran Church LCMS. After earning her undergraduate degree at OSU, Karen began a career in the Oklahoma State University Office of Admissions where she was in charge of transfer credit evaluations. Karen will be sorely missed but we are comforted knowing that she is with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Dennis and family, We are so sorry to hear of Karen's passing. She was such a dear and wonderful person of strong faith. She always welcomed us with her beautiful smile and loving friendship. We are so glad we had these few years in Tulsa to celebrate those special occasions. But we know we stay close to her in prayer and she is very much still with us. God bless, Dick and Pat Berberet
