Karen is survived by a great many friends and family members, who will always carry her in their hearts. Some of these family members include her best friend and husband, Weldon Evans, as well as her son Nicholas and his partner Ivona, who was in every way a true daughter in Karen’s eyes. Karen’s light also continues to be carried by her sister Kathy, her brother Kevin, and his wife Carly, who was every bit of a second sister to her. A great many more family members such as her beloved aunt Carolyn and uncle Jim, her uncle Skip and aunt Martha, her niece Evie (Kevin and Carly), and dear friends such as Janelle Ketron and Julie Casey. In addition to her Parents, Karen is preceded in death by her uncle Gary. Karen was a kind and selfless soul who found comfort in the joy of those around her. Quick to laugh and love, Karen was treasured deeply in the hearts of all those who met her. She loved to vacation on the beach and go for walks in nature, but was also not so secretive in her guilty pleasure of binge-watching NCIS. Karen loved life, and brightened it for all that knew her. While lamenting their loss, her family finds solace in the fact that she is now at a homecoming with the friends and family that preceded her, and those that survive her look forward to experiencing her light once again when next we meet.
