Karen Brusacoram, beloved wife of rep industry leader Gary Brusacoram, passed away on Jan. 30 after a long battle with cancer. Karen was a founding partner of Brusacoram Sales and a familiar and friendly face at NEMRA activities over the years. Her obituary in the Minneapolis Star Tribune said, “She was the silent partner that made the real difference in the success of the agency while managing a household, traveling husband and two very involved and busy girls. Karen did it all with fairness, honesty and passion.” Our thoughts and prayers go out to Gary, his daughters and grandchildren.
