Ken owned and operated Ken’s Hair and Hobbies for many years and had a successful business and retired in 2020. Over the years she met so many clients and made wonderful friendships. Ken was a loving person, and she was the happiest when she was able to help others. She was a wonderful caregiver. 

Ken enjoyed going with Shelley to the ranch on the weekends, just sitting and spending time outdoors. She had a green thumb, as she was able to nurture and grow beautiful plants. Ken also had a huge collection of essential oils. She would research and find what oils were needed for just about any ailment. 

Ken’s personality made her fun to be around. She loved to laugh and have a good time, but she also was not afraid to speak her mind and let you know what she was thinking. Ken was a private person. She kept to herself and kept her circle small.
