*Director of Big Cats of Serenity Springs Dies at the age of 47*

Calhan, CO – August 12, 2006

Karen Sculac, director of the Big Cats of Serenity Springs exotic cat 
sanctuary, died late Saturday morning from complications due to an 
infection.

Karen contracted a septic infection after a bout of strep throat. The 
infection spread rapidly through her system and she developed pneumonia. 
She was airlifted to Memorial Hospital on Friday afternoon but did not 
respond to treatment.

“Karen was, and always will be, the heart of Big Cats of Serenity 
Springs,” said Collette Colvin, public relations volunteer for the 
sanctuary. “No one can take her place but we will all continue to strive 
for the goals she set for herself and the sanctuary.”

Karen is survived by her husband Nick, her daughters Amber, Ashley, and 
Whitney, two beautiful granddaughters Sienna and Danica, her parents 
Jerry and Joyce, and a multitude of family and friends.

Funeral arrangements will be posted on the website 
(www.bigcatsofserenitysprings.org) as soon as they are available.
