Karin Wyman Morgan passed away late Thursday evening, June 6th in Boulder’s Community Health Hospital surrounded by her three children and husband of 44 years after a long and arduous battle with breast cancer that she endured with tremendous courage and grace until her very last day. A Boulder resident for 50 years, Karin was a deeply devoted and much beloved wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend who sparkled with generosity and fierce courage, particularly in the face of her diagnosis and long fight against cancer. She was 70 years old.
Karin Wyman was born in New York City in February of 1954. The youngest of three children, she spent her childhood with her two brothers, Tim and Peter, and two close cousins Fred and Carol – the five kids exploring the wild and wonderful world of New York City. Her parents, Tom and Ilsabe would bring all three kids to their home on the Eastern Shore of Maryland every weekend and every summer, where Karin and her brothers learned the virtues of farm life- riding horses, tending to sheep, deer, and hounds, and swimming and crab fishing in the Chesapeake Bay.
It was there where Karin developed her lifelong passion for the outdoors, the preservation and protection of our green and open spaces, and for all animals- wild and domestic. When she was 17, Karin left the East Coast to attend the University of Colorado in Boulder, where she earned a dual degree in Italian and Psychology. She subsequently earned her law degre.
