About Karen:

Karen Ruda, the voice behind KAR464 Webster Fire Alarm, was only 43 years old when she lost her 25 year battle with heart disease. At age 18 she was struck by Hodgkins Disease and the treatments weakened her heart. At 30, she miraculously gave birth to her daughter Haleigh which also took another toll on her heart. Karen underwent heart surgery at age 35 to repair a damaged valve and remove a blockage. At 38, Karen was diagnosed with breast cancer, which caused more damage to her heart. Six months later she suffered a massive heart attack and was placed on the heart transplant list in April of 2011. In December of 2011 Karen was hospitalized at Tufts Medical Center in Boston to await a new heart. Sadly, on April 14, 2012 Karen lost her battle with heart disease. Karen was a best friend and an inspiration to so many people. She put everyone else first and was always willing to help someone in need. Haleigh was Karen’s pride and joy…
