Koreen was a beacon of positivity, radiating warmth and joy in everything she did and said. Even in the face of her cancer diagnosis, she approached life with unwavering optimism and grace, inspiring those around her to find strength in the toughest moments. Her energy was infectious, uplifting everyone fortunate enough to know her. Whether through her kind words, her bright smile, or her resilient spirit, Koreen had a way of making even the ordinary feel extraordinary.
Koreen turned her personal struggle with "white bagging" during her breast cancer treatment into a powerful call for change. After experiencing delays and challenges caused by insurance policies that required her life-saving medications to come from third-party specialty pharmacies, Koreen fought to ensure no one else would face the same obstacles. Her advocacy led to the creation of Koreen's Law in Wisconsin, a critical step toward eliminating these barriers and prioritizing timely, safe access to treatments for all patients. Her determination has paved the way for improved care and lasting impact in the healthcare system.
This video is a heartfelt tribute to Koreen, documenting her celebration of life—a day filled with love, memories, and intention. Every moment was thoughtfully crafted to honor her unique spirit and the incredible legacy she leaves behind. While no tribute could ever fully capture the depth of her life, this celebration serves as a testament to the love and impact she brought to those around her. We hope this video inspires reflection, gratitude, and connection as we remember Koreen and the beautiful ways she touched our lives.
