Karen was active within numerous churches in Buckhannon. She will be remembered by those who were lucky enough to have known her as the sweetest, most loving, caring and faithful servant of God. She changed the world one person at a time. Her smile was as genuine and beautiful as anything, and she always had one to share with everyone she saw. The light of God shone through her in all she did. Her faith was boundless and the joy in her heart spread to all those around her, and her legendary kindness will live on in all those whose hearts she touched.
