Karin Ware

Karin Ware, 83, originally of the greater Cleveland, Ohio area, passed away on May 30, 2026 under the wonderful and dedicated care of LB Broen Home and Moments Hospice staff in Fergus Falls. A proud native of northeastern Ohio, in her prime Karin enjoyed spending time with friends and family, cooking, riding motorcycles, attending air shows, traveling to New York City, and riding roller coasters. Most importantly, Karin had accepted and followed Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior and believed strongly in living life to its fullest, and serving and helping others.

Born December 14, 1942 in Cleveland, Karin was the daughter of Virginia and Howard Lutton. She graduated from Mentor High School and attended classes at Lakeland Community College. She was preceded in death by her husband Paul Ware, Sr., son Paul Ware, Jr. ("Chip"), mother Virginia Conley, father Howard Lutton ("Pop"), stepfather John Conley, and stepbrothers James and Fred Conley.

Karin is survived by her daughter, Jackie Ware-Sodsod, son-in-law Roger Sodsod, and grandson Aiden Sodsod of Fergus Falls, stepbrothers Larry and Ken Conley, sisters-in-law Sandy, Patti, and Judy Conley, many nieces and nephews, and dear friends.

Family and friends will be notified of a private celebration of life to be held at a future date.
