Growing up Karen was surrounded by a large and loving family. She was preceded in death by her parents, Lloyd Wilbert and Zola Mae Futch, as well as her brothers Buster, Bobby, Billy, Buddy, and Wayne Futch, and her beloved son Bryan Stacy. Their memories will forever be cherished in the hearts of those who loved them.

Karen's legacy lives on through her surviving family. She leaves behind her loving husband of 49yrs and 8mos, Joe Greer, who stood by her side through thick and thin, sharing a bond that was unbreakable. Together, they weathered life's storms and celebrated its joys, creating a lifetime of memories.

Karen was a devoted mother to her daughter, Christy Sparks. Their bond was unbreakable, and the love they shared was immeasurable. Karen's dedication to her children was unwavering, providing guidance, unconditional love, and support throughout their lives.

Her greatest joy in life came from being a grandmother to her seven grandchildren (Kayla, Jared, Brandy, Amanda, Kimberly, Brittnay, and Taylor) and nine great-grandchildren (Jaxson, Brynna, Rhiannon, Jaina, Destiny, Caleb, Ella, Dalton, and Emerick. Karen embraced her role as a grandmother with open arms, showering her grandchildren with love, affection, and wisdom.

Beyond her family, Karen had a passion for baking. Her culinary skills were renowned among her family and friends, bringing joy to those who savored each delicious bite. Karen's baking skills were a testament to her love, as she poured her heart and soul into each creation.

Aside from her culinary skills, Karen had a gift for painting. She would spend hours immersed in her artwork, skillfully bringing her imagination to life on canvas. Her paintings captured the beauty of nature.

In honoring Karen's wishes, a private memorial service will be held to celebrate her remarkable life. While we grieve the loss of such an extraordinary woman, let us also remember the joy she brought to our lives and the lasting impact she made on those around her.
