Karen Larimore, 80, of Kirklin passed away March 24, 2020 at Mulberry Health. She was born at home in the Cyclone community on December 18, 1939 to Lawrence R. and Geraldine (Blacker) Vandevender. She married the love of her life, Bill Larimore, in 1961 and he survives.
Karen was involved in 4H and showed Red Poll Cattle with her family for many years. She was a 1957 Kirklin High School graduate. She began working in 1957 at Clinton County Bank and Trust and retired in 1997 as Vice President of Chase Bank.
Karen was a member of Zonta, Ducks Unlimited, and United Way, where she was campaign chair. She was the first woman President of the Clinton County Chamber of Commerce and started a local Red Hat Society chapter, which was enjoyable to several local ladies. She enjoyed traveling to Cincinnati to watch her Cincinnati Reds. She loved planting beautiful flowers and trees on her property and she and Bill provided several nesting boxes for blue birds and monitored them closely.

Facebook Twitter GoogleKaren was such a wonderful lady. She was a former Avon customer. My young son would run up to her door to give her the brochure and she always had cookies for him! I also had worked with her with some church business at the bank. So sorry for your loss. Prayers for you during the difficult days ahead!

Facebook Twitter GoogleI remember Mr. And Mrs. Larimore frequenting my restaurant in Kirklin, in the 1990’s. Mrs. Larimore was so kind, friendly, and always smiling. May God be with your family and comfort you in your time of need.

Facebook Twitter GoogleTo Bill and Joyce and family my sincerest sympathy! Karen was a special person and a fun friend! she and I shared so many memories of times at Clinton Cty. bank, stay overs in each other’s homes, a particular snowy sled ride we wondered if we would all survive, dates, weddings, golf cart rides to visit the blue birds nests, even a ride in the combine, can’t forget Red Hat fun too! During this difficult time, be safe and stay well!
Blessings to all of you! Mae
