Dearest Bartlett Family, Karen you taught me so much. Karen and Ron always offered to take me on family outings. The love of family is so strong with the Bartlett Crew. I will forever remember my first trip to Whiteface Lake with a whole crew of high schoolers and some brave parents(Karen and Ron) chaperoning our fun! I will smile every time of think of how many questions Karen would ask me…and Rene would get embarrassed and saying, “Mom, you are so nosey!” Thanks Karen…for being a nosey Momma. You taught me to be a solidly nosey Mom. That skill has served the Markworth Family well. Thanks for the beautiful memories. Much love ? Our deepest sympathies! Terssa and Doug Markworth

Thoughts and prayers sent to all the Bartletts for this painful loss. Ronnie and Karen always stood as a testament to me that "love of a lifetime" is indeed real. Some of my strongest childhood memories revolve around the Bulldog hockey team, and their special connection to it made them the coolest Aunt and Uncle ever. I'm so sorry Uncle Ronnie, I can't begin to imagine how hard this is. But, I know you're a very strong man surrounded by loving family who will help you weather this storm. To the Bartlett children and grandkids, be strong, but take the time to grieve the way you need to. Support each other, and try to focus on the memories you cherish the most to pull you through. Rest in peace Aunt Karen, you'll be missed dearly. Brandon and Melissa Bartlett
