Karen Webb
July 12, 1961—May 22, 2012
Our hearts break as we remember our daughter, sister, aunt, great
aunt, friend, confidant, care giver, coworker, volunteer, support and
listener.
Born in Salt Lake City,
7th child to Ralph & Viola Webb.
Beloved Sister to Diana, Dale, Craig, Gary, Debbie & Julie. Favorite Aunt to Cindy, David, Scotty,
Michelle, Doug, Kara, Natalie, Melina, LeAnn, Kathy, Kim, Amy, Jeffery, Gina,
Valerie, Kayla.
Preceded in death by her
Mother, whom she tirelessly cared for and loved dearly. She leaves behind her broken hearted father
whom she cared for and to whom she was extremely close. She loved her family and
enjoyed having them around. She had a warm compassionate spirit that made all
around her feel welcome and comfortable.
Karen was raised in
Millcreek and graduated from Olympus High. At Olympus she was a Track Star and
ran the 100m, 220m, 440m Relay, and 880 Relay.
Her Relay team took 1st place at State Competition.
Her track friends and team were very special to her and she often shared
stories about those memories.
Karen graduated from the
University of Phoenix and enjoyed life-long learning. Schooling was important to her and she
encouraged her nieces and nephews to further their education.
She was extremely
artistic. Painting and art were her
passion. As a crafter she loved giving
her creations as gifts to family and friends.
Her masterful Tole painting skills brightened many homes.
Her other passion was
Coca-Cola. She learned at an early age that blood wasn’t the most important
liquid in her body and water had no place. Coke truly was “IT”.
She worked with many dear
friends at Safeway, Digital, Compaq, Coca-Cola and Hewlett -Packard. Her coworkers considered her a lively, fun
and priceless addition.
She dedicated her life to
serving others. She gave each and every
person in her life 100% attention and love.
She wholeheartedly listened and cared for countless individuals. Always happy, funny, smiling, Karen brought
joy to everyone she knew. She made
everyone feel like they were the most important person in her life. Truly an
Angel in every sense of the word.
Giving constant care and
service as a 1st Choice Hospice Volunteer for 6 years. She selflessly served countless
individuals. Somehow managing to serve
more hours volunteering, than a full time paid employee worked in a week’s
time. She was chosen as 1st Choice’s “Volunteer of the Year” many years.
She was the glue that
held our family together. Wherever Karen
was, that is home. She was a personal confidant to more people than we even
know. She gave to all and expected nothing in return. She gave more in a week
than most people give their whole life.
She was more than just an aunt, sister, daughter, and friend; to those
that loved her she was a 2nd mother and Best friend one could hope for.
Karen will be dearly
missed. She leaves an emptiness in our
lives. We find peace and solace knowing
that Karen is in the arms of her mother.
They are sure to both be watching over us today.
