Karen's ability to enjoy every moment of life and her love of people, she never met "a stranger", will be greatly missed by friends and family. Karen had a passion for music, dancing and professional wrestling. She enjoyed spending time with her family going to stockcar races, rodeos and playing games, especially thirty-one. Above all she loved being the #1 Nana to her grandchildren, Ashley, Alicia and Mahlon.

A special thank you to Hospice of Mercy for their care and compassion.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial may be sent to the American Cancer Society.
