Karen Lucille Wilcoxson of Milford, passed away on September 29, 2024. She was 81 years old.

Karen met her husband, Jessie, at church, and they married on December 5, 1960, enjoying 49 wonderful years together. A dedicated member of the Red Hat Society, Karen cherished her friendships and loved spending time with her beloved sisters and her friends, whether over lunch or shopping excursions.

For many years, she served as the dietary director at Milford Park Place, where she touched the lives of many with her warm spirit and culinary talents. Hosting gatherings and holidays at her home brought her immense joy, and she created countless memories for her family and friends.

Most importantly, Karen adored her family. She was especially happy when surrounded by her grandchildren, who lovingly called her “Grandma,” and her great-grandchildren, who named her “GiGi.” Her love for them was boundless, and her legacy will live on in their hearts. Karen's warmth, kindness, and laughter will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Karen is survived by her children, Curtis (Connie) Wilcoxson, Janice Hall, Melissa (John) Plumley, and Tina Hargrave; sister, Judi Carl; brother, Raymond Willis; 9 grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren, as well as many extended family and dear friends.
