January 31, 1956 - August 1, 2020

Karen Lynnell Benton, age 64 passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 1, 2020. She was born on January 31, 1956 to the late Grady and Dee Gray in Conway, Arkansas. She grew up on the family farm in Bruno, Arkansas and later married her highschool sweetheart, Bert Benton, on April 5th, 1975.

Karen was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. Through the years she worked at a local bank and at Ranger Boats in Flippin where she touched the lives of many people; however, her favorite position was as a homemaker where she joyfully cared for her family especially her five grandsons. She was a humble and kind Christian woman and a devoted prayer warrior consistently and passionately lifting others up in prayer. She loved her church family and served as a Sunday school teacher, vacation bible school teacher, and mentored young Christians. She loved well, shared joy, showed kindness, and genuinely cared for others.

Karen was preceded in death by her parents.

She is survived by her loving husband of the home; one brother Terry (Melissa) Gray of Bruno; her two sons Daniel (Stephanie) Benton of Harrison, and Jeff (Gwen) Benton of Flippin; her five precious and loved grandsons: Grady, Luke, Garon, Evan and Grayson Benton; two aunts Betty Osborn and Jean Stephenson of Conway; one uncle David (Janice) Davis of Bruno; two nephews, extended family and dear friends.
