Karen Rademacher, 78, Minot, passed away Friday, March 24, 2023 in her home, surrounded by her loving family after a courageous four year battle with cancer.
Karen Lee Hauser was born March 21, 1945, in Foxholm, ND to Albert and Grace (Houston) Hauser. She was raised on the family farm east of Foxholm and attended grade school in Foxholm. She completed high school in Carpio, graduating with the class of 1963.

Karen and Daniel owned and operated a Grade A Dairy Operation. She also worked as a cook for many years at Schatz Truck Stop, Berthold School and The Sleep Inn.
Karen was devoted to her Catholic faith. She attended St. Mary’s Parish in Foxholm, where she was active with the Christian Mothers. In 1998 Karen and Daniel moved to Minot where they became members of St. John’s Catholic Church.
Karen was a loving, caring and generous wife, mother and grandmother. The needs of others came first. She loved to cook and bake for everyone and large portions were made to ensure she didn’t run short. Visits from her children and grandchildren were truly treasured moments.
