Karen married the love of her life, Sasha Keith Lauren on June 8, 2008 in Brownwood. Karen loved being with her family, shopping, cooking, gardening, decorating, and loving on her animals. Most of all, she enjoyed spending quiet time with our Lord. Karen loved people and could always find sweet things to say. What we will forever hear from her is "Be sweet, good, and kind." She is and will be forever loved and missed. Rest easy mama, God's got this!

My condolences and prayers for Karen Kay. I have known her since 1st Grade at Coggin Elementary in Brownwood, then briefly as a Home Interiirs Displayer myself. I will always remember her being so happy, and she could outrun me on the playground at school. I remember her best friend was Judy. My heart goes out to her too. Such sad news.
