Karen and family, I am so sorry I could not come to the memorial service for my friend Karen. She was one of the first people I got to know when I moved to Locust 25 yrs ago and was so fortunate to be a neighbor of hers. Karen, you are at peace I know that you were a blessing to your family and friends, and the world. I want to say thank you.
Mrs.Karen was an Angel sent from heaven ! She was such an inspiration to all. Mrs.Karen will be missed by all. May God be with her family and friends and loved ones.
Good Bye and God Bless what a lovely person :(
I worked with Karen at Food Lion. I am sorry to hear this sad news. Great woman, with a gentle soul.
I had known Karen for many years but didn't really KNOW her until I started working with her in January of 2018. She took me under her wing, and although I had worked in banking for many years prior, she "showed me the ropes" of First Bank. We worked hard and had so many conversations as we tried to solve world problems. We also played hard, did zumba, taught each other line dances between customers and had so many laughs.
I will always treasure the friendship I was blessed to share with Karen. She was such a joy to be around, and all who knew her couldnt help but to love her. I will miss her so much!
Hunter, Jason, Nick, Katie, Danielle and those sweet grand daughters, know that she loved you all so very much. She talked about y'all all the time. My thoughts and prayers will be with each of you during the difficult days and weeks ahead. If there's anything we can do for y'all, don't hesitate to call. Love and hugs to you all.
💕Such a dear friend, so pleasant and always friendly. I had the privilege of having
Karen in the fitness classes I taught for more than eight years.
We had a tight group and shared many good times together. Karen spoke how her family meant so much to her she would shared pictures of her children and grandchildren.🌺
I will miss her very. God Bless her sweet family.🙏
