Karen Stiles Story

Karen Stiles of Portland, Oregon died on February 9, 2024. We share this with you all because she and her family recently shared their story with us for our winter fundraising drive. She was an incredible champion for people with ALS and the mission of the organization. Our thoughts are with Karen's family during this difficult time.

Karen, you are a very wise person who has many of the thoughts I have had. Only difference is you are much more articulate than I am. Keep living life and know that I will praying for yours to have a profound impact on your family and those who watch this. Thank God for the ALS Association. Our lives are better because of them.

Thank you so very much for sharing Karen’s story, and I’m deeply sorry for your loss. Karen’s loving spirit reminds me of my late brother-in-law. He passed away from ALS two years ago….but his spirit; a spirit of kindness, love and Grace remains. I hope and pray for a cure for this devastating disease….for those individuals given the devastating diagnosis that their lives will be cut short…and for the family members, who now have to continue to live their lives with an emptiness in their hearts. ❤️🙏
