Karli Marie Weltzin passed away on December 27, 2024, surrounded by her family.  Born on July 9, 1985 to Tina Buske and Tim Dower.  Karli was known for her strength, love for her family and friends and dedication to her community.

Karli was a 2003 graduate of Stockton High School.  She continued her education and graduated from Capri College in Dubuque, Iowa.  She owned and operated Tomori Salon in Stockton until March of 2024. She was a dedicated member of the Stockton Chamber of Commerce and Stockton Strong, always committed to building and nurturing the community she grew up in. Karli married the love of her life, Josh Weltzin on July 26, 2014. Together, they brought two beautiful children into the world, Mia Marie Weltzin (5) and Lane Timothy Weltzin (3).

Karli was a woman of incredible strength and determination. She lived with a fierce commitment to health and wellness, passionately advocating for toxin-free living and natural remedies. Her conviction to stand by what she believed in was something that was admired by everyone who knew her.  Although her journey with Triple Negative Breast Cancer came with immense challenges, Karli faced it with grace, courage, and an unwavering spirit. She taught all that knew her what it meant to live authentically and to fight for what truly matters. Her passing has left an irreplaceable void, but her light and her legacy will continue to shine on in our hearts and in the lives she touched.
