Kristen Rene Karge
October 14th, 1971 - April 14th, 2025
Kristen (Kris) Rene (Kampschroeder) Karge, of Colorado Springs, passed away peacefully on April 14, 2025, at the age of 53 surrounded by her loved ones. Kris was born in Topeka, Kansas on October 14, 1971.
After graduating from Kansas State University, Kris poured years of dedication into her work in sales and as a youth director at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church, but it was the compassion, strength and humor she shared in her personal life that truly showed who she was. To her daughters, Kennedy Karge and Karson (Josh) Nelson, she was their everything — a constant source of strength, encouragement, and laughter.
Kris is survived by her father Larry Kampschroeder and her sisters Debra (Robert) Hillebert, and Shelly Huffman. Kris is lovingly remembered by her nieces, nephews, and cousins. A special note of thanks to her close friend, Tracy Lents, who offered unwavering support.
Kris was preceded in death by her mother, Vivian Kampschroeder and her furry best friend, JJ.
Her service will be held at 9:00 on May 17th, 2025, at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in Parker, CO.
