Without Karen Collins, there would be no MCA.
With steadfast support and unconditional love, Karen encouraged Mike to follow his dream. So in 1987, they founded MCA. They worked side by side for 29 years.
Karen never wavered in her dedication. She believed in her husband and their dream for the MCA family. Karen’s leadership laid the foundation for MCA to grow, to prosper, and to excel through the coming decades.

Karen’s Influence on MCA
[/av_textblock] [av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=” av-medium-font-size=” av-small-font-size=” av-mini-font-size=” custom_class=’yellow-heading white-text compressed-text’ admin_preview_bg=”] Karen is still the heartbeat of the company she helped create. Her love, beauty and drive for excellence are the lifeblood of MCA. As co-author of the MCA Core Values, Karen’s spirit and wisdom are woven into the fabric of the company. Even her touch and sophisticated style are evident in the aesthetics of the offices.Compassionate, generous and supportive, Karen loved and took care of the MCA family, always treating it as her own. Karen was wise and insightful, always willing to listen. She was quick to say “good job,” “well done” or “I am proud of you.” Karen made MCA a better place to work.

Her legacy lives on
Karen’s cheerful smile lit up the room. A devoted mother and grandmother, she exhibited an unconditional love that changed lives. Karen made a difference where it truly counted—with the person. The way Karen lived every day was a compelling witness to her Christian faith, which drew everyone she encountered to look toward Jesus Christ.
During her battle with cancer, more worried about others than herself, Karen and Mike founded the non-profit Karen Collins Un-Teal There is a Cure. The mission of that foundation is to “provide hope through ovarian cancer research.”
Karen fought with grace and dignity, continuing to give hope to others throughout her battle. Karen’s legacy will live on through the lives touched by her love.
