"Karen helped me tremendously in my own career - she was always there," said Jeffrey Palmer, a professor at John Hopkins University. "She helped me deal with becoming a professor, and then with becoming a department head. She was always a great friend and a great ally."
Hiiemae's compassion left a lasting affect on her students.
"Dr. Hiiemae is unlike any professor that entered our lives," said senior Mary Lindberg, reading a note from ESC senior Dominique Fufidio. "She had a unique sensitivity toward students."
She was always honest and fair, and she will always be remembered as one of the greatest professors to touch our lives, Fufidio's note read.
"She was passionate and the life of the party," Palmer said. "She also loved to talk. I will say that again - she loved to talk."
Hiiemae's loyalty to friends, family and colleagues was unmatched, said professor A.W. "Fuzz" Crompton of Harvard College.
"We admire her courage, strong will, friendship and loyalty," he said. "But above all, we admire her total inability to be mean or vindictive."
Hiiemae's son, Simon, said that everyone's stories were just right in describing his mother. "She taught us the value of beauty and ethics. Everyone who knew Mother knew she was special."
