Karen was born to Archie and Angelina Chesher on September 25, 1951, in Galveston, TX.

Karen faced life head-on.  Whether it was illness, hers and other family members, or the loss of her only son, Todd, she was resilient and did whatever was necessary.

There were many hours spent outside fishing, playing volleyball, badminton and softball.

Her competitive spirit continued in all board games, cards, bingo, and blackjack.

The activity which gave her the most joy was supporting her children, Lisa and Todd.  Whether it be marching band or sporting events, she was always there cheering them on.

She was also a member of the Santa Fe VFW Post 5400.
