Thank you for the suggestions. I will work on these.
I could not find anything freely available. Maybe the Women's hall of
Fame might help.

Hi Kathleen,
Sad news.
In a case like this, there are three possibilities for adding a photo on
English Wikipedia:
Find a suitably licensed (or public domain) photo. I have done a quick
search on Google and Flickr, which both offer (hooray!) an easy way to
search for freely licensed material (in their "search tools" and
"advanced
search" menus, respectively.) Unfortunately, nothing useful seems to come
up.
Find a photo that is not suitably licensed, and request of the copyright
holder that they release it under a suitable free license. This is something
many of us have done, and there are some sample emails online (and in many
of our "sent messages" folders) that could be used as a template. If you
have a photo in mind and want to reach out, let me know if you want some
help writing the note. (It's important to cover a number of details, but
also do it in a friendly and approachable way...it can be a tricky balance.)
Once someone is deceased, on the English language Wikipedia (unlike most
Wikipedias), it is possible to include a low-resolution photo, even if it's
covered by copyright, with a "non-free use rationale." If it's impossible
to
get a free photo, this may be the best approach. But I bet #2 could work
with enough diligence.
Do you have a specific photo in mind? What kind of help would be most
useful?

Karen DeCrow has died. I was sad to see how minimal her Wikipedia
entry was given how much she has done. I have added an info box.
I am having trouble adding a picture. Can anyone help? There does not
seem to be one in WikiCommons.
If any entry shows what a gender gap there is...Karen DeCrow shows it.
