Karen King

With the heaviest hearts imaginable, we say goodbye to our beloved Karen McWhorter-a woman whose love wrapped around us like the warmest blanket on the coldest day. Karen was the heartbeat of our family, the one who always knew just what to say (or what hug to give) when life felt too heavy. She had a smile that could light up the darkest room, a laugh that was contagious, and a gentle spirit that made everyone around her feel truly seen and cherished. Losing Karen has left a void in my life that feels almost impossible to fill. She was more than just a partner; she was my best friend, my rock, and the love of my life. Despite her struggles here on Earth, Karen always found it within herself to extend kindness, compassion, and understanding towards others—a light that brightened even the darkest days for so many who were lucky enough to cross paths with her. She poured her love into every moment-whether it was cooking a meal that filled our home with comfort, listening without judgment during tough times, or simply holding our hands through life's ups and downs. Karen wasn't just loved; she was adored beyond words. She was the glue that held us together, the voice of encouragement when we doubted ourselves, and the quiet strength we all leaned on. The world feels dimmer without her light, and our hearts ache with the emptiness she left behind. Losing Karen has been devastating, and now we face the painful reality of honoring her memory with the farewell she deserves. We're reaching out with open hearts, asking for any help you can give-whether it's a small donation, sharing this message, or simply keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. Every bit brings us closer to giving Karen the peaceful, beautiful goodbye filled with the love she gave so freely to all of us. Thank you from the depths of our souls for any support during this heartbreaking time. Your kindness means more than words can express. Karen is now reunited with her beloved daughter in heaven. With love and gratitude, Irvin McWhorter and family Karen, we love you forever. Rest in peace, our angel
