Karen, 77, of Onondaga, Michigan, was resting peacefully in her home, surrounded by family when she entered her Savior's embrace just before midnight on May 4, 2021. Karen was diagnosed with cancer just 3 weeks before she went home to be with Jesus.
She will be remembered as a woman bursting with love for the Lord, her church, and especially her family. Her grandkids were her joy and she treasured spending time with them. She was always well supplied with games, arts and crafts, and snacks ready for their visits.
She was vitally involved with her church, including teaching Sunday School. Karen opened her heart and home to many foster children over the years as well as extended family and friends. Her loving and giving nature was a true example of God's love for all.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Karen's niece, Tonya Burke, who has been such a great support and blessing over the last few weeks.
