She was considered a human GPS by family and friends, which came in handy as she trekked across the country to attend Carter and Lily’s sporting events and other activities. She was always up for a family road trip and whatever adventure her sister dreamp up, with their most recent being ballet lessons.
Karen’s passion was serving her family and friends. She loved cooking and baking for others especially her family and sharing her secrets in the kitchen with her niece, Lily.

(Brian) Stedman; nephew Carter W. Stedman; niece Lily B. Stedman, both of Shinglehouse; loving companion, Dustin J. Small; and her precious Bully Baby, Dallas.
Karen will be remembered for her strength, tenacity, fierce loyalty, unending kindness, infectious laugh, and her positive attitude and perseverance to overcome whatever life threw at her.

Karen was predeceased by her loving mother, Robin Murray, her brother, Anthony James “AJ” Murray, her maternal and paternal grandparents, several uncles, aunts, and cousins.
