She loved to garden it was one of her most favorite things to do, she LOVED anything with fur and 4 paws and dreamed of opening her own rescue. She never met a stranger in her life, she knew everyone's life story in the first 5 minutes of meeting them, and instantly became their friend or new adoptive mom.
She is survived by her husband and love of her life, Dennis Wright, son's, Linden and Kurt Wright; daughters, Amber Wright, Heather Powell, and Meghan Henson; sister, Jill McArther; and brother, Kurt Bandemier. Karen did not have any grandchildren by blood but is survived by her adopted grandchildren; Skylar (3), Addisyn (2), Trey Micheal (13), Ariana (13), Kayla(8), Aleena (6), Brooklyn (3), and Malachi (6 months). To them she was MiMi and she hung the moon and the same went for how she felt about them.
As well as a multitude of adopted children and honestly there are too many to name but it was anyone who ever stepped foot in her house.
She will be missed dearly by so many, there is a massive hole in our hearts and lives that will never heal. But she is no longer in pain and we are thankful for that.
We ask that you join us in celebrating her life on Saturday, July 13th at Oak Lawn Funeral Home. The public viewing is from 2pm-3pm and services will be held at 3 with story time and food to follow.
