A vibrant soul, Karen found joy in dancing and shopping and was an active member of the Sophisticated Gents Motorcycle Club, where she was lovingly nicknamed "Cuddles."

Karen shared a special bond with the Campbell family, including Carrie, Robert (Tammy), Branden, Jonathan, Kiara, Damon (Nikki), Keith, and Darryl, who have considered her family since high school. Her bright smile and warm spirit will be deeply missed by her dear friend Rhonda Johnson, along with many other relatives and friends.
