Karen Walker Henzel

Karen was born in New Galilie, PA to Wayne and LaGene Walker on August 30, 1944. As the second oldest of six children growing up on a farm she learned an amazing work ethic that followed her throughout her entire career. Even after retirement as a CPA Karen continued to work as the Church Finance Secretary at Ocean View United Methodist Church. Karen was a member of the OVUMC choir for almost 30 years, rarely missing a Sunday to sing for the church that she loved with her closest friends and family. One of the greatest joys in her life. Karen was also proud to serve as the first female member in the Oak Island Lions Club with her father for many years. But anyone who knew Karen knew that her 3 children and 3 grandsons were her greatest pride and joy.

Karen was preceded in death by her parents, Wayne and LaGene Walker, and her younger brother, Arnot Walker.

She is survived by four siblings, Gerry (Gayle) Walker, Becky Malik, Linda (Tony) Walker and Dwight (Barb) Walker. Her three children Eric (Sabrina) Henzel, Marc Henzel and Laura (Eric) Wilson. Her three grandchildren Aiden Wilson, Jack Wilson and Walker Wilson. And many nieces and nephews and great-nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held Sunday October 10, 2021 at 2:00pm at Ocean View United Methodist Church on Oak Island, NC.

In lieu of flowers we ask donations be made to the Music Fund of Ocean View United Methodist Church.
