A wonderful lady left us too soon. Quite a few residents enjoyed Karen Jamieson’s jazzercise class for many years, and we will continue to dance in tribute to her for many more. Karen will be missed by her family and friends, especially her cohorts at Sabal Springs. But her Jazzercise class lives on.
The photo is of the class here in March led by Krisan Hahn, a seasonal resident. Krisan explained that she asked Karen last summer if she would like a co-teacher to help on days she wasn’t feeling up to teaching. Unfortunately, Karen said she wouldn’t be able to continue andgave Krisan her blessing to take over. After Karen’s passing her family gave Krisan her oldaerobic notes. Krisan says, “it is like she (Karen) is still there.” And for myself who enjoyed Karen’s classes, I can sometimes hear her cheerful, beautiful voice challenging us to “push harder.”
Krisan Hahn has been a seasonal resident of Sabal Springs for two years. She had been an aerobics instructor in Buffalo, NY, for more than 30 years. Krisan has taught step aerobics, weightlifting, and cardio jazz. She will lead Karen’s Jazzercise class for us from December to March. Nada Pajevic, who has been involved in jazzercise and taught line dancing for decades, will lead the class April through June, October, and November.
Everyone is invited to get “in the groove” in the multipurpose room every Tuesday and Thursday from 10 am to 10:45 am to keep those muscles moving.
MEANT TO SABAL SPRINGS
KAREN’S MEMORY.
