Karen was united in marriage to Ralph Williams March 1, 1997, and to this union were born two children Alice of rural Oskaloosa and Dale of Eddyville. Ralph preceded Karen in death on August 25, 2012.

Karen cherished the many friendships she made while employed at Eurofin Scientifics on the Cargill campus in Eddyville. Karen was an avid gardener, she loved to visit the Amish to purchase her many hanging baskets and flowers.  Karen was also a super fan of all sports if it involved the Michigan Wolverines. Go Wolverines!! But Karen's favorite past-time was spending time with her grandson's Broady and Cooper. Many of Karen's hours were spent watching activities that her children or grandchildren were participating in, many of which involved horses.
