Karen Marie Brooks, born January 8, 1947, passed away October 13, 2021. Her beautiful soul earned her wings. God told her that He needed her and called her to come home. . . In the twinkling of the night an Angel gently took her hand and led her through the pearly gates . . . The Angels were rejoicing as God's eyes shone down upon her from the glory of His throne. He said, "Enter into paradise coz Heaven is now your home . . . Her body has been made whole: she is flying high with the Angels, dancing in the clouds with her late husband, Michael Brooks, her one true love . . . because heaven is now her home . . . Remember eternity is forever and we'll meet again someday. Karen was preceded in death by her parents, Willard and Francis Butcher; and her brother, Larry Butcher. She leaves behind her sister, Charlotte Burt; her children, Tina M. Jarrett, Jacqueline L. Varano (Tommy Varano passed away), Johnathan L. VanNess (Cristal), and James H. VanNess (Anna); many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday, unseen, unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear. She was so loved and we will always carry her in our hearts . . .?
