Karen Ellis

Karen Sue Ellis was a loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She was called home to heaven suddenly on February 28, 2023 at the age of 61.

She was born on August 25, 1961. After graduating from high school, Karen was joined in marriage with her best friend, Pere Ellis for almost 44 years.  Together they had four children – Pere Jon, Sarah, Josh and Jennifer and many grandchildren whom she loved – Kaleb, Christian, Harper, Quinn and she was proudly expecting another grandson next month. 

Karen loved spending time in the kitchen and taking great care of her family. She was a skilled artist, researcher, gardener and comforter, along with many other traits which she passed on, leaving us forever grateful.
