It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Karen Yvonne Brock, who departed this life on July 26, 2025, in her hometown of Mayo, Florida. Born on February 24, 1946, Karen was a cherished mother and a vibrant soul whose love for reading and literature illuminated the lives of those around her.
As a dedicated mother to her beloved daughters Angela Wilson, Peggy Gamez and her son Kelly Wilson, Karen's warmth and nurturing spirit were central to her identity. She instilled a passion for knowledge and exploration in her children and grandchildren, always encouraging them to pursue their dreams with tenacity and grace. Karen's devotion to her family was unwavering, and her legacy will continue through the love and lessons she imparted.

She is also survived by two sisters Myra Boyette, and Patsy Archer, her brother Danny Mills, 10 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren as well as a host of nieces and nephews.

Karen was preceded in death by: her parents Bill Mills, Rosa "Tootsie" Mills, and a sister Rita Jensen.

A funeral service to celebrate Karen's life will be held on Wednesday, July 30, 2025 at 11:00 at Burns Funeral Home of Mayo with Pastor Curtis Thomas officiating. The family will receive friends at the Funeral Home beginning one hour prior to the service. Interment service will follow immediately after in Riverside Cemetery. We welcome those whose lives were touched by Karen to join us in this tribute to her remarkable spirit.
As we say goodbye to Karen Yvonne Brock, let us remember her not with sorrow, but with gratitude for the love, laughter, and lessons she gave us. May her memory be eternal, living on in the hearts of those she cherished most.
