Karen Nielsen

Karen Nielsen (born Sørensen) born on 11 August 1939 in Aarhus. Karen lived with her grandparents (grandmother and grandfather) in the small East Jutland village of Lillering during her childhood. She came into the house of a family in Rødovre in her early adulthood. During that period she met Egon V. Nielsen, whom she married on xx. November 1961. Together they bought a small house in Haveforeningen Engly in Amager, which she still lives in. She was a stay-at-home housewife, where she took care of the household and took care of her two children Kirsten Skjølstrup (born Nielsen) and Hans Steen Nielsen (born Hans Christian Nielsen). After her husband's sudden death in 1985, she was thrown back into the labor market, where she cleaned at the Holmen Naval Station and in a kindergarten. Karen has four grandchildren whom she has looked after from the start and visited as often as possible. In her spare time she enjoys her garden, plays pétanque, goes to gymnastics and travels when possible both in Denmark and Europe.
