My dear friend, Lavinia gave me this when I learned of Karen's passing. "I do know this quote has always comforted me, so I offer it to you...

They whom we love and lose are no longer where they were before. They are now wherever we are. - St John Chrysostom"

I miss my life-long friend. We have been friends since we were 16.

I am still in shock after learning of Karen’s passing. I worked with Karen for many years at Anheuser-Busch and like many of the comments here, she was such a great mentor to me. I admired her so much, not only for her professional accomplishments but as a person, she was kind, caring, loving, funny & beautiful! I just hope she knew what a long-lasting impact she made on so many women professionally and personally. You will be greatly missed Karen. 🤍

My heartfelt condolences and prayers to you all! 🙏

We are so sorry for your loss. My husband and I met Karen and Drew about 7 or 8 years ago through our mutual friend, Ann Conran. The times we spent together were always so fun. Karen was so kind and friendly and had a beautiful smile that lit up the room. We will miss her.🫶

I met Karen at work, and she was special on every level. She deeply loved her family and lit up whenever she talked about them. Karen was kind, caring, sincere, intelligent, determined, and always willing to help. She was incredibly talented, a natural mentor, and made everyone and everything she touched better. Karen had quite the impact on those around her and will be missed tremendously. My heart goes out to her family, and I am keeping them in my thoughts during this difficult time.

Karen and I worked together at Anheuser-Busch, she was assigned to my team calling on ampm. She was smart, dedicated, invaluable and fun to have on our team... She was honored as a "Rising Star" By C- Store New's "Top Women in Convenience" which was very well deserved... She will be greatly missed in the industry and by friends and family... My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family...

Sincerely

Struggling to piece together Karen is no longer with us. Karen was my work mom and I owe all the success in my career to her. She showed up for me in more ways than I can count. I feel so lucky to have been able to call her my boss, mentor, and most importantly friend. Karen was simply the best, and she made everyone she worked with better. I will miss being able to bounce any and all of my crazy ideas off of her without ever fearing judgement. Karen lit up whenever she talked about her daughters and grandchildren and my heart aches for them as well as Andy. She was simply the best of the best, and the world is a little dimmer without her in it.

I can’t believe she is no longer with us. So many great memories of our families being together as we were growing up and enjoying time we spent together. She always had such a great smile and kind heart.

My heartfelt condolences to Karen's family. I met Karen in the early 80’s when she started at A-B, PPG. We quickly became good friends and have been the best of friends through life’s ups and downs. To know Karen was to love her. She was the best at everything she did, including being a wife to Andy, mom to Jess and Missy, and grandma to Soren and Belle. She loved with all her heart and soul. I am truly blessed to be her friend. Love you Karen and will miss you immensely. Until we meet again my friend.

I’ll never forget the first day that I met Karen. I was a few years out of college with one of my first jobs at a wholesaler/AB meeting. As she was presenting, I remember thinking how smart she was and how I hoped I could be like her one day! I was lucky enough that she became my manager and I was able to work with her for several years. Karen was the ultimate mentor. She was so smart, helpful, and kind. She could run circles around anyone when it came to anything work related, but was never boastful about it. She loved her family and would light up when she would talk about them. I am so thankful to have known Karen and will miss our wine filled chats and gossip sessions. Sending lots of love and prayers to her family.

It’s unfathomable that Karen is no longer with us. She was such a shining person to be around. She was warm, kind, caring, fun, and always willing to help others. She was a legend in the beverage industry (pretty sure there are “Karen Brown Reports” still being used at AB!) We had a quick bond when I joined her team at Constellation Brands given our previous experience at Anheuser Busch. She quickly became a mentor to me and was someone who I learned so much from. Some of my favorite professional memories are moments sharing a glass of wine with this beautiful woman. I will miss my elevator buddy. Keeping Andy, her daughters and grandchildren in my prayers during this difficult time.
