Karen resided the past 40 years in Houston, where she worked in various business. Most recently she worked in real estate.

Karen was a proponet of no-kill animal shelters. She loved dogs and appreciated the meaning they brought to life.

She was preceded in death by a sister, Cindy Jo Borgfield; paternal grandparents, Clarence and Edna Borgfield; and maternal grandparents, Clyde and Mildred Martin.

The family will privately honor Karen with a graveside service at St. John’s cemetery near Fruitland, where she will be laid to rest next to her sister, Cindy Jo. Dr. Rodney Pensel will officiate.
