Personal note from Karon's Friend Michelle

Please join us to celebrate the life well lived in service to the True and Living God Jehovah. My Best Friend, Karon Orr was deary loved by me and many others who shared her deep love for our God and Father. She died as a Pioneer working hard to advance kingdom good news to as many people as she possibly could. She was tough as nails in her strength, determination and devotion to putting Jehovah first in her life down to the very end. Although she was fighting cancer causing her pain, fatigue and loss of her hair and weight, this would not deter her from reaching her goal of 50 hours in April 2023. She not only reached that goal but she exceeded it by 5 hours!! She passed away May 23, 2023. I am so pleased that I got the chance to thank her for coming into my life and allowing me the pleasure of knowing what a true friend and soul mate really is. I had the pleasure of being her Pioneer Partner for many years, what a treasure of good times and memories of our wonderful experiences together!! I will miss my dear friend until the end when we shall meet again !!
