Karen’s former employers include JC Penney’s (downtown location), Harris & Pressley Law Office and Statesville Auto Auction.

After marrying Larry W. Nash, on April 28, 1984, Karen joined Beulah Baptist Church, where she remained active, until her health declined, in the Co-Ed 8 Sunday School Class and the Golden Harvesters.

She was preceded in death by her parents and by Larry, who passed away unexpectedly on May 27, 2001.

Three sisters and two brothers also survive: Audrey (Raymond) Sheets, Kay (Eugene) Sheets, Danny (Mary) Miller and Ronnie (Donna) Miller, all of Miller’s Creek, NC and Janice (Allen) Estes of Statesville. Several nieces and nephews also survive. She was especially fond of her nephew, Joey Sheets.
