Karel Eileen Bohlken McCullar, born Sept. 5, 1947 in Los Angeles, Calif. After attending U of A in Fayetteville, she taught at Daisy Bates and Watson Elementary for over 39 years. She was recognized as one of many truly talented and loving teachers. She always loved telling the great stories of her students. After retiring, her passions expanded to becoming a world traveler, her love of the outdoors surrounded by her beautiful plants and flowers, and her two Schipperke fur babies, Bailey Vander Hellion and Bentley Vander Hellion. Karel traveled to heaven on Aug. 5, 2016 to meet her Mother, Gertrude Ann Bohlken, her father, Darrell Richard Bohlken, her grandparents and many aunts and dear friends. We are sure she is telling her funny stories and anecdotes to them all. Those of us left behind will have to wait until our time arrives to see her again. Leroy McCullar, Karel's loving husband, soul mate and traveling buddy will have to somehow learn to go on without her until their love brings them together again. Her sisters Mary Ann Bohlken and Debbie Bohlken, with her husband Don Croft, will struggle to go on without their big sister but she prepared them well with her wit and humor. Karel loved life to its fullest. In lieu of a funeral or memorial service she requested that her family and friends go out to dinner and talk of all the good times they had together and to rejoice in their life. She wanted us to say: do not be sad for she will see them later in heaven. Online Guestbook available at www.rollerfuneralhomes.com/conway.
