Overview
Karen Wack-Zirbel was a lifelong supporter of Catholic education who served as a cheer and volleyball coach at St. Francis in Brighton, a member of Catholic Central’s Board of Directors, and a dedicated volunteer for school events like the annual auction. She was the mother of two Catholic Central graduates and an accomplished student herself, maintaining a 4.0 GPA and perfect attendance throughout her K-12 education.
