With heavy hearts, we gather in remembrance of Karen Morris, a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend, and neighbor, whose passing has left an immeasurable void in the lives of all who knew her.

Karen lived her life with grace, strength, and quiet generosity. She gave freely of herself to her family and community, always ready with a warm smile, a kind word, or a helping hand. Whether she was tending to her family, volunteering in her neighborhood, or simply listening when someone needed to talk, Karen’s compassion and calm presence were a source of comfort to many.
