Kara Westphal Obituary
We are sad to announce that on January 5, 2026, at the age of 45, Kara Westphal of Deep River, Iowa passed away. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Kara Westphal to pay them a last tribute.
As we bid adieu to Kara's earthly form, let us not dwell on the void left in her wake, but rather celebrate the legacy of love and inspiration Kara has bequeathed us. For though she may have departed from our sight, her spirit remains a timeless beacon, guiding loved ones through the labyrinth of life's journey.
She is survived by: her husband Tony Westphal; her parents, Marvin Dam and Bonnie Van Dam; and her siblings, Nickolas Van Dam (Becca), Amber Kerby (Stephan) and Alissa Van Dam. She is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
