Karen L. Brown's Obituary
Karen Lee Brown of Largo, FL, died on the morning of April 26 in her home, surrounded by close family. She was 66. Karen is survived by her husband, Jerry Brown; two sons, Eric Brown of Pittsburgh, PA, and Dr. Jordan (Dr. Robyn) Brown of Lexington, KY; one granddaughter, Mona; stepsiblings Holly Avery and David Wolfe and her mother and stepfather, Jane and Norm Wolfe. She is preceded in death by her father, Wayne Jefferson Best.
Karen and Jerry were high school sweethearts and, together, led an adventurous life that took them from their hometown of Butler, PA, to Bremerhaven, Germany; Richmond and Columbus, IN; and, most recently, the Tampa Bay area of Florida. Karen, an avid reader, theater goer, cooking enthusiast, and supporter of the performing arts, found a natural fit for her interests in her work at Viewpoint Books of Columbus, IN, for many years, and previously in her work at other bookstores and as a choreographer for local dance productions. Her true passion, however, was her family, especially her granddaughter Mona, who will most remember her for her steadfast love and support, and for her caring and generous spirit.
Because of the Covid-19 pandemic a celebration of Karen’s life will be held at a later date. Memorial contributions can be made to the ASPCA or the Musical Theater Guild of Butler, PA. Moss Feaster Funeral Home assisted the family with arrangements.
