IN MEMORY Cari Christine Charter August 12, 1969-April 20, 2024 Cari joined KBA in 2010. She immediately became an integral part of the insurance operation. She supported our members with life insurance, collateral protection, health plan, COBRA and benefits administration. Her strong attention to detail and dedicated work ethic was shown in everything she did. Elizabeth Roche, SVP of employee benefits, recalled, “Cari was both a co‑worker and a friend. We enjoyed watching the hummingbirds outside my office window in the summer. She will be greatly missed.” Evidence of this was shown in one of her favorite hobbies, photography. She spent much of her vacation and off-time taking pictures of Kansas. When it came time to redecorate, she supplied us with some of her favorite pictures of Kansas to display on our walls. We called it her own personal “gallery.” One of her favorite association activities was the annual golf tournament. She had a great time seeing people she worked with and taking pictures of the fun. President of KBA Insurance Alex Greig said, “Cari was a big part of what makes KBA Insurance special. She will be missed not only by our staff but also by the many bankers that she served. The size of our group makes us more than just co-workers; we are family.” Photo taken by Cari Charter 28
