The Karen DeLisle Memorial Scholarship Foundation (KDMSF) was established in 2005 in honor of Karen DeLisle who lost her battle with cancer. She was a daughter, a wife, a mother, and a vibrant woman. During her too short life, she had two careers: one as a nurse, and another as a newspaper reporter and columnist. During it all, the one constant she made clear to friends and family was how strongly she felt about education. Hence the focus of this Foundation.
