Karie nurtured thousands of children throughout her decades of childcare and was loved in return by the children and parents she served. Karie met Bryan Luster in January 2003, a single dad to one of her students. She liked to joke she “stole a dad from work one day”, and the two were married on November 8, 2004. Bryan and Karie happily made their home in Bartlesville. Karie often said her greatest accomplishment was raising her children, whom she was most proud of. She was delighted to see the tremendous adults they grew into and celebrated their accomplishments with pleasure and adoration. Karie’s ultimate mission was to spend every moment she could with her three grandchildren, Zach, Zayn, and Easton. She loved spending quality time with her family and spoiling her grandbabies with love and affection. In addition to doting on her family, Karie thought of shopping as a hobby and was obsessed with finding fabulous purses and shoes.
