Karen Kay Jackson

Karen was born on March 16, 1971 in Sheridan, WY to Gale (Zeke) Jackson and Beverly Sturdevant Jackson. She passed away at home on March 6, 2023 after a courageous battle with kidney disease

Karen attended school in Casper, WY. She graduated in 1989 from Kelly Walsh High School. Karen worked with disabled people starting in 1991 as their care giver and eventually opened her own business caring for adults and children with disabilities. She loved working with the disabled population and was always a fierce advocate for them.

Karen was a die hard fan of the Dallas Cowboys. She was never shy about telling family and friends "You always stand behind your team through the wins and losses, not just when they win." Karen was also a huge fan of Garth Brooks. Anytime of the year as soon as you entered Karen's home you were welcomed by a plethora of snowmen and Christmas. Karen loved to barbeque, whether it be rain, snow, or sunshine. Coffee was her 'water'; and you never talked to her before she had her first.... or third cup of coffee in the morning.

Karen is survived by her daughter, Audra, who was and is the love of her life; her parents Gale (Zeke) and Beverly Jackson of Casper; and her sister, Kristy Jackson of Casper. She is also survived by nephews, James (Buddy) Morgan - Kraft, Aaron Kraft, Trevor (Madison) Jackson, Robert Jackson; nieces, Ashlee (Billy) Spurlin, Samantha Jackson, Kelly Ann (Lukas) Walker, Adalynn Jackson, and Lillianna Coziah; as well as several great nieces and nephews; many other special friends to include, Sonja Jackson and Jessica Brunotte.

Karen was preceded in death by her brother, Bobby Jackson; and her maternal and paternal grandparents.

When our wings have had trouble remembering how to fly, they taught us that we do not remember the days we remember the moments.

At Karen's request there will be no services.
