She was born in Wauseon, OH on April 18, 1944 to Floyd and Grayce (Miller) Ricker.

After moving to Colorado in 1969, she was an accountant for KLZ Radio and Television for seven years. Karla’s family was her number one priority, and her grandchildren were her pride and joy. She initiated Life Chain in Greeley and dedicated her life to supporting the unborn. Karla enjoyed road trips, the great outdoors, and loved to see bald eagles.

She founded The Genesis Project of Northern Colorado, served with Weld County Right to Life, the Weld County Republicans, and several children’s ministries.
