Colorado Women Flyfishers - Karen Williams Memorial Scholarship

Karen Williams was a long-time member of the Colorado Women Flyfishers. She was the first to lend a helping hand to ladies just learning to fish, first to volunteer for any variety of club activities, and served in several Board positions. She lived her life well, with generosity, gratitude and humility. In 2020 Karen was diagnosed with Stage 3 lung cancer, which took her life quickly. The Colorado Women Flyfishers
honor the memory of Karen and her dedication to helping women learn, and enjoy flyfishing, with this $500 scholarship.
Colorado Women Flyfishers, established in 1997, is a 501©(3) organization comprised of women who fly fish.
