Karen Marie Boyd

Karen was born on September 29, 1960 in Savannah, Georgia to Roy and Charlotte Boyd. Karen graduated high school with the class of 1978 from Glynn Academy in Brunswick, Georgia. She received her associates’ degree from Brunswick Junior College. She served as a Licensed Practical Nurse in Savannah, GA for over 20 years at Saint Joseph’s Candler and later worked in patient resource management until her retirement. Karen was also a licensed cosmetologist and loved helping others feel and look their best.

Karen had a passion for helping others in her life. Whether that was adopting her two beloved dogs or assisting a friend in need. Her door was always open and her heart was always willing to give. She was an avid animal lover and actively worked with pet rescue groups to re-home animals and provide them care. She was known for her genuine heart, infectious laugh, and unrelenting love and compassion.

Karen is survived by her parents, Charlotte and Roy Boyd Sr, her brother, Roy Boyd Jr (Jimmie), nieces, Caroline Furlong (Ross) and Charlotte Anne Boyd, nephew Roy Boyd III, grand-nephew Banks Thomas Furlong, as well as friends who are family.

At this time there will not be a service due to COVID-19. In lieu of this, please consider making a donation to the Savannah Humane Society or the Rheumatoid Arthritis Rheumatology Research Foundation in Karen’s memory.
