Karen Ridlon, founder of KidVantage, created an awareness for children and families who needed support in the Issaquah community. Her passion for child care and kindness were as prevalent as her persistence and tenacity to advocate for every child's well-being. After her battle with cancer, the beloved leader, wife, mother and grandmother died on Aug. 20. Ridlon began her journey in child care at the University of California San Francisco and became one of the first certified pediatric nurse practitioners in the United States.
