Karen was born and raised in Jacksonville, FL as the cherished only child of Howard and Martha. She attended Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, TN where she majored in English and Music. Karen married the love of her life, Donald Marsh, in 1981 and together they raised a blended family in Valrico, FL. She was a devoted member of First United Methodist Church of Brandon, now New Hope Church, where she served in many areas of ministry including music, teaching and leadership. Karen's greatest loves in her life were God, her church and her family. She loved gatherings of family and friends where she would host parties and meals that made everyone feel special. She had a talent for decorating and all things "fancy" and Karen will be greatly missed by all those who knew her.

Karen's family would like to thank the professional staff at AdventHealth Connerton Acute Care Hospital and Melech Hospice House for their expert and compassionate care during her final weeks.
