VERONA ISLAND — Karen M. (Moore) Ready, 57, went to the arms of her Lord and Savior on Sunday, May 6, at her home with her loving family by her side.

She was born June 9, 1954, in Lewiston, the daughter of Maureen (Martin) Moore. Karen served our country in the Army Reserves. She was known for her strong work ethic and immense love of family.
