I love you Aunt Karren, you will be truly missed. You were always the life of the party, people could feel your presence every time you walked in the door. You were always so nice, cared for others and loved to laugh. I will forever remember your beautiful smile.
Karen was my hairdresser and friend for many years in both Fayetteville and Elkins. She was a sweet caring person who I always enjoyed visiting with during my appointments. I was both sad and happy when she moved to be closer to her daughter. Happy for her and her family but sad to lose such a sweet friend’s presence. I will always fondly remember Karen and our many years of friendship. My condolences to her family!❤️🙏
