Karen and I met when our daughters became friends in school. We became best friends until I moved to Louisiana in 1983. We remained in contact through the years visiting her and Jimmy and her again after Jimmy's passing. Will miss you Karen. Rest in Peace.

Karen was a former patient of mine in the office of Hatley Family Dentistry. Since, I’ve been retired now for several years, I have missed caring for and keeping up with some very nice patients, like Karen. She was such a caring and pleasant women who loved her family so much. She will be missed, by all who loved her. Prayers for comfort for all her family and friends.

Karen was a wonderful friend of ours. We have many memories playing with and watching football games together.
She was so generous to let us stay with her when our electricity was out a couple of years ago. She was a very kind, generous friend and we loved her. She will be greatly missed.

Karen and I dated off and on for over 2 years in high school and college. She was always great fun and my time spent with her was always special. I wish her family my sincere sympathy during these trying times. I lost my mom during this Corona Virus stuff and can appreciate your challenges to hold a proper tribute to her life.

Karen was a light and a beautiful soul. We had many years of friendship and we spoke when I came back to Arkansas last year. It was great to talk to her. We made plans to get together but didn’t get that chance. I will cherish my wonderful memories of her. She was a loving friend, wife , mother and grandmother and her love of her family was incredible. RIP Karen! Sending the family all my thoughts and prayers!🌻
