She was blessed with a wonderful family and her husband, grand kids and her siblings played a huge role in her life. Karen was a very nurturing person and was loved by all. She loved working in her yard, she loved her Route 44 diet Cokes from Sonic with vanilla and she loved to shop. Her legacy that she leaves behind is one of abundant love, faith and good will to her family and friends alike. To know Karen was to love her and she will be greatly missed.
