She was closest to her sisters that always supported her in everything; as we affectionately called it, “Team KK”. She has first cousins that she made a point to get together with and called it “Cousins Dinner”. Karen was raising her grandson Hunter Johnson for the last 11 years with the help of family in DeBerry, Texas.

She is survived by her step father, Don Johnson, sisters, Kristin Walker and husband Breland, Shelia McCollum and husband Josh; and her children, Michael Johnson, Rebecca Daniel and her husband Blake Daniel. Karen is also survived by her grandchildren, Camden Zylicz and Hunter Johnson; numerous nieces, nephews, and many friends that she considered family.
