Karen was a spirited woman with a strong personality and a straightforward way about her. She was known for her honesty, her willingness to speak her mind, and her genuine approach to life. Those who knew Karen appreciated her independent spirit and the unique personality that made her who she was.

In her younger years, Karen enjoyed playing softball, a passion she continued well into her 40s. She spent 30 years working at The Gap warehouse before beginning a new chapter at Amazon, where she eventually retired.

Karen enjoyed the simple pleasures in life, including watching her favorite soap operas and staying informed on current events. She was an avid football fan who proudly cheered for both the Cincinnati Bengals and the Kansas City Chiefs. She also had a special fondness for collecting angels. Her love of angels became a cherished family tradition, as she and her sisters gathered each year for their annual angel exchange, sharing not only gifts but also time and memories together.

Above all, Karen treasured her family. She especially adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought her tremendous joy and held a very special place in her heart.

She is survived by her loving daughters, Misty (Jerry) Barnett and Denise (Curtis) Emerson; her brother, Randy (Wilma) Haggard; and her sisters, Sharon (Mike) Weber and Yvonne Haggard; and her sister-in-law, Terry Haggard. She also leaves behind six grandchildren: Camron, Kiersten, Kaileigh, Emma, Lucas, and Harper, and two great-grandchildren.

Karen was preceded in death by her parents, Harold and Anna Marie Haggard; her brother, Ronald Haggard; her sister, Paula Holden; Tammy Holden; and her brothers-in-law, Norman Holden, Sr. and Norman Holden, Jr.
