Karen is survived by her husband Neil Bod, her sisters Wanda Atkinson, Tammy (Lyle) Bestward and her brothers Bill (Roberta) Downs and Jason Warman, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

She was predeceased by her parents, nephews Benjamin Atkinson, Oscar Atkinson and her niece Hannah Atkinson.

Karen spent pretty much all her working life in the hospitality industry, which she loved.  She was loved by all she had contact with, be it friends, co-workers, bosses, or customers.

She was a beautiful soul who left us all too soon.

She will be loved and missed until the end of time.
