Karen's greatest passions in life were her children and grandchildren. She enjoyed hanging out and playing with the kids making them laugh. She will be missed terribly by her family and all who had the honor to know her.
A Memorial Service celebrating Karen's life will be held privately at a later date. Online condolences may be offered to the family at www.blueridgefuneralhome.com.
