Karen was a Christian who loved our Lord God and was always reading and studying her Bibles. She is following her father Horace B Kelly in death after developing the disease PSP and contracting COVID-19, which advanced her illness.

Karen lived her life as a Nurse/Care Giver, she loved taking care of people. She was born in Dallas TX and lived in Oakland and San Jose CA and Columbia SC where she started her nursing career as a candy striper at Providence Hospital under the tutelage of her grandmother Catherine L (Fox) Bazen, LPN. Her parents then moved to Savannah GA where Karen graduated Sol C Johnson HS, 1976. She continued part of her nursing education at the GA Baptist Hospital School of Nursing in Atlanta for one year and moved back to Savannah to attend Armstrong State College where she received her LPN degree. Karen worked at both Memorial and Candler Hospitals.
Karen and James Graham were married, Dec 1988-Jun 2021. Karen was dedicated to her whole family but couldn’t be split in two so she moved to Avinger/Jefferson TX where she took care of her mother and sister, Sissy and worked at the Linden Hospital and worked in Home Health Care. When her illness got so severe she returned to Savannah.
Karen was a pianist for several of the Churches she attended throughout her life and also played the guitar. She loved all music and her country.
