Karen grew up going with her father to see the Orioles play at old Memorial Stadium in the late 1970s. Her brother, Steve, and sister, Tricia, also live in Howard County. Sydney and her family, which includes two younger sisters, spent part of their summer visiting relatives in Howard County in 2012 and plan to visit again this summer.
