As for his classy wife, Karen Dolan, she was born, Karen Rath and was raised in West Park. Karen is the daughter of John “Jack” J. Rath and Jeanne M. McNeely.

Karen who is of Irish heritage, attended Our Lady of Angels Grade School and St. Joseph Academy.  She is the eldest of three sisters, Janet Colaluca, Bratenahl and Amy; and three brothers, Bryan, Dan, and the late Kevin Charles (K.C.).

Story goes that following her graduation from John Carroll University in University Heights, she was introduced to Paul’s dad, Larry Dolan.

In her efforts to enter the retail business, she ended up operating one of Larry’s bookstores. Larry played somewhat of a matchmaker and introduced her to Paul. She had known Paul casually and they started dating.  They ended up marrying in November of 1989.

Not much more is known about the lovely Karen Dolan. She is certainly seen during social events accompanying her husband. They both were pictured earlier this year as her hubby was named the Cleveland Mayo Society person of the year.
