Karen Joan Wurz-Lowe

Karen was born on October 13th, 1956, at Fürstenfeldbruck Air Base in Germany, to parents Keith Moran and Joni Moran. Karen graduated from John Marshall High School in 1974 and had a long career in the Department of Defense. Some of her assignments included working at the Pentagon and lived in Virginia and Maryland while there, she moved to Tuttle, OK and retired in San Antonio, Texas where she called home.

Karen’s smile lit up a room and her quick wit made everyone laugh. She was an avid reader, loved to cook, especially holiday meals and solving difficult crossword puzzles. She was a fighter to the end and an inspiration to keep being strong, no matter what gets in your way!

Karen was most proud of her son, SFC., Ryan K. Wurz, who served 2 tours in Afghanistan.

Preceding her in death was her mother, Joni Moran; stepmother, Yolanda Moran; brother-in-law, Galen Moffett; nephew, Adam Sawyer.
